Elminia albiventris

The White-bellied Blue Flycatcher, scientifically known as Elminia albiventris, is a small passerine bird found in the forests and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. This species is known for its striking blue upperparts and white underparts, with a distinctive black eye mask. It primarily feeds on insects, catching them in mid-air or by gleaning from foliage. The White-bellied Blue Flycatcher is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season.
