The large blue flycatcher (Cyornis magnirostris) is a medium-sized bird species characterized by distinctive sexual dimorphism along with most others of the Flycatcher family. This species of bird is in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in the eastern Himalayas, from Nepal to Bangladesh. It winters in the northern Malay Peninsula.
Adult male large blue flycatchers' exhibit striking features, including a cold, pale blue forehead. Their lores, cheeks, and some of the ear-coverts are jet black, contrasting with a deep blue cap on their head and dark blue feathers on the wings and tail with a subtle purplish tinge. Males display a vibrant orange-rufous throat and chin, which extends to the rear flanks and mid-belly, with the lower underparts being whitish. The bill is black, and the legs vary in color from pale flesh-pink to pale pinkish gray or light horn-brown. In stark contrast, the females are characterized by their grayish upperparts and crown, and strongly rufous-tinged rump, tail, and edges of the wing feathers. Their facial features include a pale buffish eyeing and lores, with dark brown cheeks and a pale rufous-tinged buff chin and throat. The remainder... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Blue-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Sok National Park (83 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
