Rufous-bellied Paradise-Flycatcher

Terpsiphone rufiventer

The Rufous-bellied Paradise-Flycatcher is a striking bird found in the forests and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. This species is known for its long, elegant tail and vibrant plumage, with the male displaying a glossy black and rufous belly, while the female has a more subdued brown and white coloration. These flycatchers are skilled aerial hunters, capturing insects in mid-air with their agile flight. They build cup-shaped nests in the forest canopy, where they raise their young. The Rufous-bellied Paradise-Flycatcher is a delightful sight to behold, adding a splash of color and grace to its woodland habitat.
