The Fulvous-chested Flycatcher (*Muscicapa williamsoni*) is an Asian flycatcher, often considered a subspecies of the Asian Brown Flycatcher. It is notable for the distinct fulvous (tawny-brown) wash on its breast and flanks.
Where to spot
Breeds in continental Southeast Asia and winters in parts of Southeast Asia, including Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. It inhabits forests, woodlands, and well-vegetated areas.
How to spot
Distinguish it by the fulvous wash on its chest. Like other flycatchers, it perches in the open and makes short sallies to catch insects. Listen for its typical soft 'twick' calls.
When to spot
Best observed during its breeding season (late spring/summer) or during migration (spring/autumn) and winter (late autumn to early spring) in its southern range.

The subtle differences in plumage and vocalizations of this form contribute to the complex identification challenges within the brown flycatcher group.
