blue-throated flycatcher klossi
Dear all
I'm quite surprised that the same species/subsp of bird in this male form was seen and reported
by me to Richard of the Englsih Hotline from Lead Mine Pass last Sat.
I i/d it as this subsp for its largely blue upper parts, sharply-defined narrow triangular white
throat (clear even in a distance) and murky orange/rufous breast. The size was substantially
smaller than a b/w flycatcher and lower body plumage ruled out also a Hainan blue which I am
familiar with.
It was very active above a stream together with a lot of other kinds of birds.
Sharing is important and thanks for the photos.
