The blue-throated blue flycatcher (Cyornis rubeculoides) is a small passerine bird in the flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. It resembles Cyornis tickelliae but easily separated by the blue throat. The habitat of this species is a thicker forest than other species of flycatchers. The blue-throated flycatcher is found in much of the Indian subcontinent, all through the Himalayas, the plains and Western Ghats of India in the cold months, and also extends eastwards into Bangladesh, and to Arakan and the Tenasserim Hills in Myanmar.
Adult males have blue throats and orange breasts with a well defined white belly and flanks. Females have an olive head and upperparts with a poorly defined creamy-orange chest and a white belly. [1] Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-throated Flycatcher sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 198th most-seen of the 236 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-throated Flycatcher in Pune on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blue-throated Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
13th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Blue-throated Flycatcher sightings, Pune ranks 13th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tamluk (India, about 10%), Kathmandu (Nepal, about 10%) and Kolkata (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-throated Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Pune (17 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
