Thailand Flycatcher (1 Viewer)

[Ed Agter]

Can't find the name of these birds in my book! Google gives Verditer Flycatcher as the name for the flycatcher but....
Thanks in advance,

I've not seen either, so take this with caution, but to keep this near the top how about Brown Fulvetta and Pale Blue Flycatcher.

A location would be helpful for the first photo - Brown Fulvetta has a much more restricted range in Thailand than Brown-cheeked. For me, it looks better for Brown-cheeked, as it has a uniformly grey head with a faint browline, dull grey bill and contrastingly brighter wings.

The flycatcher looks like a female Verditer to me - the lores are dark, the shade of blue of the upperparts isn't quite right for Pale Blue and the underparts are uniformly grey-blue, without a contrasting pale belly.

Ed, I had a look look at your PBase page. The bird you've labelled Tickell's Blue Flycatcher is Indochinese Blue (split some years back). Your "Hill Blue Flycatcher" doesn't look right - the throat wedge is to narrow. Where did you see it and do you have any more images? Lastly, the bird you've called "Slaty-backed Flycatcher" looks like a female White-rumped Shama to me.

Thanks Andy and Pete,
The first and second photo was taken in the province of Prachap Khiri Khan ca. 250- km. south of Kaeng Krachan.
And Andy I will look into the the names on my page an PBase. You know, I'm over eighty and my eye's are not that good anymore and I have a color problem. All the photo's are taken in the area of Kaeng Krachan til Surat Thani.
Thank you for the help, both of you.
Ed

Thanks for the corrections Andy, I was hoping by replying I would keep the thread current for someone who knew better to respond.

Andy, three more photo's of the flycatcher.

Hi Ed. The one I wanted to see more images of was this one: Hill-blue Flycatcher by ed agter.

 

[Ed Agter]

Sorry, that is the only one. Could it be the Blue-throated Flycatcher?

If seen at Kaeng Krachan, more likely to be Chinese Blue.

@Ed Agter The bird you've called Buff-vented Bulbul is a Baker's Bulbul, now regarded as a race of Olive Bulbul or perhaps as a species in its own right.
