Sunda Pygmy Flycatcher

Rhaphidura sabini

The Sunda Pygmy Flycatcher (Rhaphidura sabini) is a small passerine bird found in the Sunda region of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a long tail and a slender, pointed bill. This species is often found in lowland forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, where it forages for insects by making short sallies from a perch. The Sunda Pygmy Flycatcher is known for its agile and acrobatic flight, allowing it to catch insects in mid-air. Although its population status is not well-documented, this species may face threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
