This is called Mountain Verditer-Flycatcher in the Kennedy guide. This bird is found in mountain forests above 800m.
This bird was common and conspicuous during our trip to Mt. Kitanglad in Bukidnon. A very beautiful bird!
We saw this bird again in Sagada in Jan. 2010. It was in a big mixed flock and it was a foggy day. Its a different race from the bird we saw in Bukidnon.
There are three endemic races
nigrimentalis - Luzon and Mindoro
nigriloris - Mindanao
panayensis - Negros and Panay
