The Brown-breasted Flycatcher (*Muscicapa muttui*) is a migratory flycatcher of South and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its dull olive-brown upperparts and a distinctive warm brownish wash across its breast.
Where to spot
Breeds in the Himalayas and hills of Northeast India and Southeast Asia. It migrates to winter in southern India and Sri Lanka. Inhabits dense broadleaf forests and mixed woodlands.
How to spot
Look for the brownish wash on its breast, which is a key identification feature distinguishing it from other plain flycatchers. It perches quietly, sallying out for insects. Listen for its characteristic calls.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range, or during migration (spring/autumn) and winter (late autumn to early spring) in its southern range.

This species can be quite vocal, especially during the breeding season, when its persistent song helps delineate territories in dense forest.
