The Turquoise-throated Flycatcher is a beautiful species, with males sporting brilliant turquoise-blue upperparts and a distinct turquoise throat, contrasting with a white belly. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo, found in montane forests, often at higher elevations, particularly along ridges and in mossy forest.
How to spot
Look for the male's vivid turquoise throat and upperparts. It often perches in a clear spot, making it easier to see. Listen for its short, sharp calls.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and late afternoon, foraging in the mid-canopy.

This species is an example of striking sexual dimorphism, where the male's vibrant plumage serves as a visual signal during courtship and territorial displays.
