Title: Unsure flycatcher at Tai Po Kau
Post by Neil on Oct 12^th, 2005, 12:52pm

Photographed today at Tai Po Kau.  About the only bird I saw in 2 hours. I thought at first it was a Grey Streaked but now not so sure.  Neil.

I think it is Dark-sided Flycatcher?!

This is a typical juvenile Dark-sided Flycatcher

White spots on the back and splotches rather than streaks on the breast.

The same species and the same plumage is on the front of the "Avifauna of Hong Kong"
