Ferruginous Flycatcher

Muscicapa ferruginea

The Ferruginous Flycatcher, Muscicapa ferruginea, is a charming bird belonging to the family Muscicapidae. This species exhibits a subtle beauty, with a plumage that blends seamlessly into the montane forest habitats it frequents.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify the Ferruginous Flycatcher, one should look for its distinctive rusty-red upperparts and pale underparts. This bird's compact size and alert posture are characteristic of the flycatcher family.

Habitat

The natural habitat of the Ferruginous Flycatcher is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These environments provide the dense foliage and rich insect life that these birds thrive upon.

Such a great app!
I didn’t think I could enjoy birding more but this app makes it so much better. Some great features and a really great way to share your sightings with your friends or fellow birders nearby or around the world! ❤️

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.
