Jungle flycatcher (3/5) August 2020 - Grey-chested Jungle Flycatcher (Lifer 540)

In Peninsula Malaysia we can sight 2 subspecies of Jungle Flycatchers. This one here is a resident of Malaysia virgin jungle. whilst the Brown-chested is a winter migrant visitor. The Fulvous Jungle Flycatcher has not being recorded  in  Malaysia as far as I know but in Southern Thailand and Borneo.

We were lucky to  see a pair during our last hour there.

The bird has a pure white triangular throat patch and the chest is buff to grey in color.  Its also has pale lores  with pale brownish eyering. The beak is totally black and they have pale legs.
