Range

The verditer flycatcher is an Old World flycatcher found from the Himalayas through Southeast Asia to Sumatra. Adult males are intense blue on all areas of the body except for a black eye-patch and grey vent, while adult females and sub-adults are lighter blue (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is interesting among the flycatchers in that it forages above the canopy level and perches on electric wires or exposed treetop branches. It was earlier placed in the genus Muscicapa, and it has been suggested that it is closer to the Niltava flycatchers. The source read gives no size, diet or breeding information.
