Rufous Paradise Flycatcher

Terpsiphone rufocinerea

The Rufous Paradise Flycatcher is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking rufous plumage and long tail feathers in the male, while the female has a more subdued brownish-gray coloration. These birds are skilled aerial hunters, feeding on insects and small invertebrates. They are often observed perching in the canopy, making short sallies to catch their prey. The Rufous Paradise Flycatcher is known for its melodious and varied song, adding to the charm of the forest. Although not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation pose potential risks to their populations.
