Palawan Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis lemprieri (Sharpe, 1884)
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
Palawan Blue Flycatcher, Cyornis lemprieri, is a passerine of the Muscicapidae family that breeds in the Palawan group of south-western Philippines. It is confined to Palawan and the islands around it, where it lives in tropical moist lowland forest, including primary and secondary forest up to 1,000 metres above sea level. A notable feature is its white throat and belly, which helped separate it from the Javan Blue Flycatcher. It is monotypic and occurs in Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.
