Verditer Flycatcher / Indian Verditer Flycatcher (銅藍鶲; Scientific Name: Eumyias thalassinus)

Dhulikhel Mountain Resort, Dhulikhel, Bagmati, Népal

A very colorful flycatcher named after its distinctive color - copper-Sulphate blue. Both the sexes are of similar color, but the female has a quite washed out /faded color while the male is colorful like above. They are upper canopy birds and could be heard in some of the places often. We found this while we were searching for another rare-flycatcher (Rusty Tailed) and there were maybe more than 1 of these. I had shot this bird several times, but those pics were not to my satisfaction and more of a record.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Gobemouche vert-de-gris / Verditer Flycatcher

A very colorful flycatcher named after its distinctive color - copper-Sulphate blue. Both the sexes are of similar color, but the female has a quite washed out /faded color while the male is colorful like above. The bird is around 15–17 cm long and for flycatchers, its a medium-sized to large flycatcher.

These are migratory birds from Southern China / South East Asia / Himalayan forests to South India. They come in good numbers and are quite a favorite of photographers due to their distinctive color.

In the South, we often see them in the canopy and could be heard in some of the places often. But in their home turf, I found them foraging at eye level perches, bushes and plants too. There were plenty of them and I enjoyed watching them play and forage in the hillside.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Verditer Flycatcher

The verditer flycatcher (Eumyias thalassinus) is an Old World flycatcher It is found from the Himalayas through Southeast Asia to Sumatra.[2]

This species is named after its distinctive shade of copper-sulphate blue and has a dark patch between the eyes and above the bill base. The adult males are intense blue on all areas of the body, except for the black eye-patch and grey vent. Adult females and sub-adults are lighter blue.

The verditer flycatcher is also interesting among the flycatchers in that they forage above the canopy level and perch on electric wires or exposed tree top branches.

This species was earlier placed in the genus Muscicapa and it has been suggested that it is closer to the Niltava flycatchers.[3]

Verditer Flycatcher / Indian Verditer Flycatcher (銅藍鶲; Scientific Name: Eumyias thalassinus)

Verditer flycatcher

Beautifully vivid turquoise-blue Verditer Flycatcher.

Another bird on my to-do list for quite a while now. I had seen it last year October and since then looked for it. We sighted it near the Tickell's, Ultramarine and other woodpeckers area, but it was quite restless and barely came out into the open. This one shot was the only time it was in full view.

The bird is just other flycatchers hunting small insects like flies and caterpillars. It is also a top canopy bird and doesn't come to ground much. The male and female both look similar, but the male is much more darker verditer color. Verditer is a shade of blue. I think this one is a male based on the darker plumage color on the breast area. The female is considered lighter and looks faded.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

A very colorful flycatcher named after its distinctive color - copper-Sulphate blue. Both the sexes are of similar color, but the female has a quite washed out /faded color while the male is colorful like above. I think this is the female since the colors are bit faded.

This was also around the area where the stream was flowing. The bird had its fill of water while the other birds were tussling a bit. It landed 45 deg around 10 feet from me. Couldn't help take this nice shot nearly full frame. Being still and silent for a while photographing helps I suppose.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

The Verditer Flycatcher is a medium-sized (15 to 17 cm) slim, long-tailed, upright flycatcher. It is found from the Himalayas through Southeast Asia. This species is named after its distinctive shade of copper-sulphate blue and has a dark patch between the eyes and above the bill base.

The Male of the nominate race is almost entirely greenish-blue or turquoise-blue (Verditer-blue), with brighter forehead and throat; upperwing and tail brighter cobalt-blue, inner webs of flight-feathers sooty or blackish; velvety black on lowermost forehead, lores and centre of chin; pale tips of undertail-coverts; iris dark brown; bill and legs dark grey or blackish. The female is similar to male but slightly duller or greyer, has paler grey lores, with chin and upper throat finely barred greyish. The Juvenile has dull turquoise head and upperparts heavily flecked, speckled or spotted with pale buff, underparts similar but with larger pale buff to orange-buff spotting, juvenile female usually more heavily spotted buffish and duller on wings and tail than male; wing and tail as adult, with buff tips of greater coverts.

They are found in open lowland and lower montane forest, including edges, clearings and bushes along streams, edges of cultivation, tall tree groves, also parks and gardens; breeds in Himalayas at 1200–3000 m, mainly below 2400 mtr. They are altitudinal migrant and a relatively long-distance migrant; post-breeding they move to lower levels in foothills and plains, in India mostly below 750mtr.

They are usually found either solitary or in pairs, occasionally several pairs occupying same area of open forest or powerlines; also associates loosely with other flycatchers. The Verditer Flycatcher is also interesting among the flycatchers in that they forage above the canopy level and perching on electric wires or exposed tree top branches. It actively hawks insects in flight, variably returning to original perch ; also flutters in foliage to dislodge insects, and may drop to ground to pick up prey. Has upright stance; flicks tail, most frequently on landing.
