Acerca de

The Black Monarch is a small, entirely glossy black flycatcher with a slender bill and an upright posture. It inhabits montane rainforests of New Guinea, foraging through the forest interior and midstory for insects caught in sallies or gleaned from foliage. It is often found in mixed-species flocks that move through the forest understorey.
