Samoan Flycatcher

Clytorhynchus pachycephaloides

The Samoan Flycatcher (Clytorhynchus pachycephaloides) is a small passerine bird native to the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific. This species is known for its distinctive plumage, with a dark olive-green upper body, a bright yellow belly, and a black mask around the eyes. It has a short, stout bill and is known for its agile and acrobatic flight patterns. The Samoan Flycatcher is primarily insectivorous, foraging in the forest canopy and understory for small insects and invertebrates. Due to habitat loss and introduced predators, this species faces conservation challenges.
