Nilgiri Flycatcher


The Nilgiri flycatcher (Eumyias albicaudatus) is an Old World flycatcher with a very restricted range in the hills of southern India. It is found mainly in the higher altitude shola forests of the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris. This bird was photographed in Anamudi Shola National Park. This small and somewhat long-tailed flycatcher is about 13 centimetres (5.1 in). It is dark steely indigo blue with some violet-blue on the forehead and darker lores. Recorded food items include small invertebrates and some fruit, particularly berries. Usually solitary or in loose association with other.
