The Island Flycatcher is a rather nondescript brownish-grey flycatcher, often with a paler belly, found across various islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Its plumage blends well with its forest habitat.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Lesser Sunda Islands and parts of Wallacea in Indonesia, inhabiting forests, forest edges, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its typical flycatcher shape and behavior: perching upright and sallying out for insects. Its calls are often the best way to identify it, as its plumage is not highly distinctive.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. It is active throughout the day, foraging for insects in the mid-canopy and understory.

This species exhibits considerable geographical variation across different islands, with some populations having subtle differences in coloration or size. This highlights the evolutionary impact of island isolation.
