Asian Brown Flycatcher

Latin Name : Musicapa dauurica

Site Name : Mantanani

Photographer : BAKEWELL, David

Date : 2012-10-09

Notes : Of the race williamsoni.
I saw a couple of Brown-streaked Flycatchers, and managed to photograph one of them. These are described as an uncommon migrant to Borneo. Apart from the subtle diffuse brown streaks on the breast, another distinctive feature is the almost completely yellow lower mandible. On classic birds, only the tip is dark, though there is apparently some variability in this feature. -- DB
