A vibrant Madagascar paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone mutata) perched on a branch, displaying its striking rufous plumage and distinct blue eye ring. This species is known for its sexually dimorphic traits, where males can have extremely long tail streamers, while females, like the one in this image, exhibit beautiful rufous coloration without the streamers. The Madagascar paradise flycatcher is commonly found in diverse habitats, including moist and dry forests, gardens, and coastal areas across Madagascar. These birds primarily feed on insects and spiders, often seen darting through the underbrush in search of prey. This image captures the elegance and unique features of this bird in its natural environment.
