White-capped Redstart
White-capped Redstart is a member of the Old World Flycatchers family that has a specific habitat requirement of rocky mountain watercourses. Both sexes of these birds have a white cap and are otherwise black except for chestnut underparts, rump, and upper part of the tail. They do the typical redstart behaviour of flicking and flaring the tail, which is thought to flush out insect prey. This species is known for its piercing call, necessary in a noisy environment of rushing water. This individual was seen on the creek near the Rong Fai Fa Ban Khun Klang Restaurant in Doi Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai province, Thailand.
