Sulu Jungle Flycatcher (Cyornis ocularis)
About the Sulu Jungle Flycatcher
The Sulu jungle flycatcher (Cyornis ocularis) is a species of passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is endemic to the Sulu Archipelago. Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forests. While it has yet to be assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, this species is likely threatened by habitat loss. The Sulu jungle flycatcher was split from the rufous-tailed jungle flycatcher (Cyornis rufocauda) as distinct species by the IOC in 2021. This bird is differentiated from its sister species as it has a prominent rufous eyering, light brown upper mandible and paler brown lower mandible, and pinkish legs.
