Ultramarine Flycatcher

The ultramarine flycatcher or white-browed blue flycatcher is a small arboreal flycatcher, somewhat smaller than a sparrow at about 10 cm, with a stocky build. Its breeding range extends from eastern Afghanistan to the Hengduan Mountains, and it winters in India and north-western Indochina. The amount of white on the brow and tail varies from west to east along the Himalayan foothills, which is sometimes used to distinguish three subspecies. (Wikipedia, general species account)

The male is deep blue above, including the sides of the head and neck, with a prominent white patch from the centre of the throat through the breast to the belly. It constantly jerks up its tail, sometimes fluffing its head feathers, and keeps largely to low trees and bushes, feeding among the foliage. It usually occurs singly, sometimes in mixed hunting parties in winter. It breeds mostly at 2,000–2,700 m and lays three to five, usually four, olive-green to dull stone-buff eggs freckled with reddish brown. (Wikipedia, general species account)
