About These Birds

Black-faced Monarch

The Black-faced Monarch is an elegant flycatcher with gray upperparts, a black face and throat, and warm rufous-orange underparts. It breeds in rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests of eastern Australia, migrating north to New Guinea and nearby islands during the austral winter. It forages actively through the forest midstory, catching insects and spiders by sallying from perches or gleaning foliage.

Weighing about 15g with a wingspan of 14.9cm, it has rufous and white plumage. It forages in the forest interior, making aerial sallies and gleaning insects from foliage.
