The Grey-chested Jungle Flycatcher is a small, relatively plain bird with olive-brown upperparts and a grey chest fading to white on the belly. It is a common, though often overlooked, forest inhabitant.
Where to spot
Widespread across South and Southeast Asia, from the Himalayas to Indochina and the Greater Sundas. Inhabits dense tropical and subtropical broadleaf forests, often in the understory.
How to spot
Look for its small size and drab colors, focusing on the grey chest. It can be difficult to spot in dense foliage. Listen for its short, high-pitched calls, which are often the best way to detect its presence.
When to spot
Resident throughout most of its range, observable year-round. Most active during the day, particularly in the morning, foraging in the shade of the forest.

Despite its subdued appearance, this species is a very active forager, constantly darting through the undergrowth to snatch insects. It often joins mixed-species foraging flocks.
