An Asian chat named after its blue colouration. Well that has to cover...

9629. Large Blue Flycatcher Thailand

(Mine was a female. So actually brown and more helpful for connections I suspect. I'll upload a pic on my return home.)

I relied on a "grown up" for identification... The fourth pic looks like we clicked at the same time.

9629. Large Blue Flycatcher Thailand

From one flyctacher to another - seen in the Nimba Mountains in Liberia:
#9630 Nimba Flycatcher

 

[Paul Chapman]

An easy link this time. Nimba Flycatcher is Melaenornis ANNAMarulae and Annam Limestone Babbler is a recent split from the Limestone Babbler complex that also includes....

9631. Variable Limestone Babbler Thailand

Not a stretch at all and a species that would have immediately come to mind as linked. 😀

All the best

No, not a stretch att all 🙃
I'll do the relatedness connection again, from one babbler to another - also going back to Africa (Rwanda) again for one of my favourite babblers:
#9632 Red-collared Babbler

 

[Paul Chapman]

Well that is easy - from red-collared to red-legged... A species that I have seen and photographed on both visits:-

9633 - Red-legged Crake Thailand

(Down to three now I think.)

All the best

Stretching it a tiny bit, but it's a very handsome bird with reddish-pinkish legs and a very red tail and rump:
#9634 Tricoloured Parrotfinch

 

[Paul Chapman]

Think of another bird with red on its rump & vent. Well the most obvious one is an endemic from Peru living up a mountain obviously...

9635. Vilcabamba Tapaculo Peru

I'll get my coat before the Rules Police arrive...... Two to go I think but I'll probably need a drink to link to either!

All the best

Don't have any tapaculos to play, but I do have another small dark grey bird with reddish details (back to Rwanda):
#9636 Dusky Crimsonwing

 

[Paul Chapman]

I recently saw someone link Dusky Crimsonwing to a Tapaculo which I thought was outrageous but hey when in Rome.... As a result, it must work.

9637. Diademed Tapaculo Peru

I wanted to link to Dusky Clearwing but then realised that the game would be never-ending.

All the best

Outrageous connections!
Diademed Tapaculo is a small dark grey and brown bird, kinda like a Himalyan species:
#9638 Gould's Shortwing

 

[Paul Chapman]

A brown montane species with a restricted range I hear you say. Hmm surely that's not enough. It would have to be named after the shape of part of its body. If not the length of its wings, maybe the shape of its tail. Only one species that springs to mind surely...

9639. Vilcabamba Thistletail Peru

(Afternoon drinking is bad for you. Don't do it kids! I believe that I am out and all who love this game will be relieved. I will check. )

All the best

So, I can give you a range restricted, brown species named after a body-part (and also its geographical distribution):
#9640 Rennell Shrikebill

(Hope you find some more species, its such a fun game. Maybe more splits coming!)

I have found one more but imagination and pic currently not to hand...

👏👏👏 Who knew posting nearly every bird on the planet could be so entertaining.

"Alexa, please give me the name of a range restricted brown bird species named after a body part and also its geographical distribution."

"Acrocephalus brevipennis is a bird restricted to the Cape Verde islands, it is a brown bird and its scientific name means short-winged. Its vernacular name refers to its distribution."

"Alexa, that is a result as it is the only one I had left."

9641. Cape Verde Warbler (or Cape Verde Cane Warbler or Cape Verde Swamp Warbler)

Want another range restricted brown bird species named after a body part and also its geographical distribution? Sure!:
#9642 Guadalcanal Fantail

 

[temmie]

I didn't have time but I saw so many 'easy' links that flew past (a Parrotfinch, a Tapaculo, a babbler,...).
I've got nothing that rhymes with Guadalcanal or looks like a fantail, so I'll wait patiently...

Glad you posted that as I saw 'Large Blue' posted a day or two ago and thought someone really should have made a butterfly link at the time. Any invertebrate a day later is good ...
