The Large-billed Blue Flycatcher is a robust species, characterized by its notably larger bill compared to other blue flycatchers. Males are largely blue, while females are duller brown.
Where to spot
Found in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia, including parts of northeastern India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. It prefers dense broadleaf montane forests.
How to spot
Key identification is its proportionately larger bill. Look for its blue plumage (male) foraging in the mid to lower strata of the forest. Listen for its soft, clear calls.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round, though some altitudinal movements may occur. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon.

The larger bill of this species is an adaptation to its diet, enabling it to catch larger insects or forage more effectively in its preferred habitat. It often feeds lower in the forest.
