Hartert's Flycatcher is a small, relatively plain flycatcher species found on the island of Timor. It is generally grey-brown above with paler underparts, and its subtle plumage can make it challenging to spot.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Timor, found in lowland and montane forests, as well as degraded woodlands and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and undergrowth of forest habitats. Patience is key, as its subdued coloration allows it to blend in well with its surroundings. Listen for its quiet calls.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species in its native habitat. Early mornings and late afternoons are often the most active times.
