Genus: Platysteira

[edit] Description

An African genus comprising ten species of Wattle-eye. They are small, stocky, active flycatchers with short tails. Four species have red wattles, while the wattles are blue, green, or violet in the remaining species.

[edit] Taxonomy

Platysteira is one of about six genera in the family Platysteiridae. This genus includes species formerly placed in genus Dyaphorophyia by some authorities (and some still recommend that); those are the species with wattles differing from red.
