The Russet-tailed Jungle Flycatcher is a small, somewhat plain flycatcher with olive-brown upperparts and a warm russet-colored tail and rump. It is a secretive inhabitant of dense forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo, found in lowland and hill forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and along forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its overall drab plumage but pay close attention to the russet tail and rump. It often stays low in dense cover, so patience is required. Listen for its short, soft calls.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects.
