Description
The Pale Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis unicolor) is a bird in the family Muscicapidae. The species was first described by Edward Blyth in 1843. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is superficially similar in appearance to the verditer flycatcher, but is paler blue, with greyish underparts from throat to vent, and a discontinuous black eye-patch. Both birds can often be found in the same locale.

Feeding Habits
Pale Blue Flycatcher primarily consumes small invertebrates, foraging alone or in pairs and sometimes joining mixed-species flocks. It catches insects mid-flight in typical flycatcher manner and forages across various forest canopy levels, demonstrating a horizontal perching stance and tail flicking when agitated.
Habitat
The habitat of pale Blue Flycatcher predominantly comprises moist forests, including dense primary and secondary broadleaf hill and lower montane forests, with a partiality for bamboo-rich areas. These environments are typically characterized by high humidity and a rich canopy cover, providing the essential microclimate and resources required for pale Blue Flycatcher's survival. The species is found throughout broader regions encompassing parts of the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, and the Greater Sundas.
