The Rufous-chested flycatcher (Cyornis kalaoensis) is a small bird species found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its rufous chest and belly, contrasting with a bluish-grey upper body. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. Rufous-chested flycatchers feed on insects and are often observed perching on branches or making short flights to catch their prey. They are known for their agile and acrobatic flight patterns.
