Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A rainforest flycatcher that is completely dark gray. Found very locally in the canopy and upper middle levels of lowland rainforest. Often in pairs or small groups. Usually sits upright, sometimes motionless for long periods. Makes short flights to catch insects, and also feeds by running along branches with a more horizontal posture. Most likely to be confused with Shining Drongo, but less blackish, without glossy highlights, and much smaller-billed.
