Sunda Blue Flycatcher

Cyornis poliogenys

The Sunda Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis poliogenys) is a small passerine bird found in the Sundaic region of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking blue plumage on the upperparts and a white underbelly. The male has a vivid blue throat and breast, while the female has a more subdued coloration. This species is often found in the understory of primary and secondary forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Sunda Blue Flycatcher is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. Although not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and degradation pose potential risks to its population.
