A magnificent Madagascar paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone mutata) perched on a branch, displaying its vibrant rufous plumage, striking blue eye ring, and characteristic long white tail streamers. This bird, known for its sexual dimorphism, with males often exhibiting longer tail streamers than females, is a common sight in Madagascar's diverse habitats, including moist and dry forests, gardens, and coastal areas. The Madagascar paradise flycatcher primarily feeds on insects and spiders, often seen darting through the underbrush in search of prey. This photograph captures the elegance and unique features of this bird in its natural environment.
