Yellow-rumped Flycatcher

Passeriformes - Muscicapidae - Ficedula zanthopygia (Sambar Pinggul Kuning/Sambar Kunyit Kening Putih)

Gaudy male striking, with yolk-yellow underparts and rump and black upperparts set off by white supercilium and wing patch. Female less brightly colored but still distinctive, with brown upperparts, a smaller yellow rump and white wing patch, and whitish underparts with faint scaling on the breast. Breeds in broadleaf and mixed forests, especially groves in riparian areas. Can be encountered in a wide range of wooded areas outside of the breeding season, from coastal scrub to pristine hill forests. Song is a short, thrush-like series of burry whistles.

Focused to catch whilst still wary.
