Too cute to this Asian paradise flycatcher. Male Asian paradise flycatcher changes color in first few plumage years. There is a small difference between female and male adult Asian paradise flycatcher. The color of male flycatcher changes to white when it becomes adult and female remains brown in color.
I found this beautiful flycatcher in Nandi betta and Anashi forest and in Singhad,Pune. It sits on the low branches of the trees and shrubs, and mainly fed on the insects. This is resident of southern India and the breeding period is winter in these places, and the nest of this cute paradise flycatcher looks like a cup.
