A Madagascar paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone mutata) perched among the dense foliage, displaying its striking rufous plumage and distinct blue eye ring. This bird, commonly found across various habitats in Madagascar, including moist and dry forests, gardens, and coastal areas, is known for its insectivorous diet, feeding primarily on insects and spiders. The Madagascar paradise flycatcher exhibits sexual dimorphism, with males typically having longer tail streamers, while females, like the one in this image, lack these streamers but retain a vibrant rufous color. This photograph captures the bird's natural beauty and its adaptation to the forest understory.
