Azure-crested Flycatcher Myiagra azureocapilla

A beautiful small flycatcher. Mostly pale whitish gray below and dark blue above. Crown and cheek vivid sky blue, throat chestnut, and bill bright red. Prefers native mature forest in hills, avoiding regrowth. Similar to Vanikoro Flycatcher, but distinguished by vivid blue head markings and reduced rufous below. Almost identical to Chestnut-throated Flycatcher, but range does not overlap. Song is a repetitive whistled “weet-weet-weet.” Calls include churring and buzzing notes.
