Zappey's Flycatcher

Latin Name : Cyanoptila cumatilis

Site Name : Mantanani

Photographer : BAKEWELL, David

Date : 2018-11-04

Notes :
This was the only "Blue-and-White" type flycatcher we saw in 5 days, whereas during my October (2015) visits, there were multiple B&Ws present daily. It makes me wonder whether Zappey's have a slightly later passage period than B&W. Pure speculation at this stage, but something to investigate.
