Spotted
The Rufous-bellied Niltava is a stunning flycatcher where males boast brilliant blue upperparts and rich rufous underparts. Females are predominantly brown with a pale throat.
Where to spot
Found across the Himalayan foothills and mountains of Southeast Asia, from Nepal eastward through Northeast India, Myanmar, Thailand, and into parts of China and Vietnam. Inhabits dense montane forests.
How to spot
Look for the male's vibrant blue and rufous coloration. It typically forages in the lower to middle strata of the forest. Listen for its short, sweet, whistled song to locate it.
When to spot
Primarily a resident species, with some altitudinal movements during winter. Observable year-round, most active in the early morning and late afternoon. More vocal during breeding season.
