About These Birds

Banggai Jungle-flycatcher

The Banggai Jungle-flycatcher is a Near Threatened flycatcher of the family Muscicapidae endemic to Peleng Island in the Banggai Archipelago of Indonesia. It inhabits forest understory and edges, where it catches insects by sallying from low perches. Its extremely restricted island range makes it vulnerable to habitat change.
