Title: Flycatcher for ID
Post by Andrew on Dec 23^rd, 2005, 5:44pm

This bird has been around Ho Chung for a while and was found again this afternoon along with Asian brown and Verditer flycatchers. I'm probably miles off but I wondered if it may be Red-throated, mainly because of the tail pattern. Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what it is - this is the best image I could get.

The black and white pattern on the tail and the white underpart...I think you are right! this is a non breeding Red-Throated Flycatcher. ;)
