Spotted
The Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher is a rather plain, small bird with olive-brown upperparts and a light brown chest. It is a shy inhabitant of dense forests, often staying in the undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in parts of East and Southeast Asia, including China, Myanmar, and northern Thailand. It inhabits dense evergreen and mixed forests, often near streams.
How to spot
Look for its small size and drab brown plumage. It tends to stay low in dense vegetation, making it challenging to spot. Listen for its soft, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
A resident species, though some populations may undertake altitudinal or short-distance migrations. Observable year-round, most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
