Endemic to the Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India. It inhabits forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Requires specific travel to the Nicobar Islands. Look for its blue and rufous plumage. Listen for its song and calls, which might be the best way to distinguish it from other blue flycatchers.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects.
This species represents the unique evolutionary pathway taken by island populations, resulting in distinct species despite being closely related to mainland counterparts.
