Rufous-tailed Jungle-flycatcher
RUFOUS-TAILED JUNGLE-FLYCATCHER
Rhinomyias ruficauda
Family Muscicapidae
Bird #286 - January 2011
This bird is an uncommon resident measuring about 5 1/2 inches.
We were all standing on wet, muddy, and slippery logs peering into the dense foliage looking for a Tailorbird when we noticed a bird that was quite still, perched on a low branch. It took some maneuvering for everyone in the group to see the bird through all the greenery. Eventually, it flew up and perched for a moment on an open branch, but I didn't realize it was the same bird!
Since the first encounter, we have seen this bird again 3 times. In Bohol once and twice in Bislig in 2012.
