Blue-breasted Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis herioti)
About the Blue-breasted Blue Flycatcher
The blue-breasted blue flycatcher (Cyornis herioti), also known as the blue-breasted flycatcher, is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is endemic to the Philippines found only north and central parts of Luzon. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. The Rufous-breasted blue flycatcher (Cyornis camarinensis) was formerly considered to be a subspecies. It was formerly conspecific with the rufous-breasted blue flycatcher from south Luzon. It was split as a separate species based on the male's eponymous blue breast. As the rufous-breasted flycatcher is an extremely rare bird and there are barely and specimens, the differences between the two species' females are poorly understood.
