Could anybody please give comments on its identity? « Last Edit: Mar 2nd, 2003, 2:38pm by Koel_Ko » Logged MIKE Kilburn Guest Re: Lung Fu Shan and the Peak « Reply #1 on: Mar 3rd, 2003, 9:51am » Quote Modify Remove Hi Koel   An excellent morning at Lung Fu Shan!   Your wierd flycatcher-like bird sounds interesting. The combination of reddish vent and tail  does not leave many options!  The nearest I can think of is female Pale Blue Flycatcher , but that does not show a reddish vent.   Sorry I can't be more help   Mike Logged Koel_Ko BBS Member BBS God I love birds!!     Gender: Posts: 222 Re: Lung Fu Shan and the Peak « Reply #2 on: Mar 3rd, 2003, 1:44pm » Quote Modify Dear Mike,   Thanks for the reply. The sighting was actually a glimpse of a bird lingering at the treetops along Lugard Road. Nearby were some Thrushes and many Chinese bulbuls, and the bird was quite featureless from below, save for the reddish vent and tail. I had a glimpse of the head and found it greyish (not sure whether it was the light) and  nondescript. We have considered it a minivet or a monarch but found the colours inconsistent, but there is indeed a very remote possibility for a Paradise Flycatcher.
