Little Pied Flycatcher

11 cm

Little Pied Flycatcher primarily consumes invertebrates. It employs aerial foraging techniques to catch flying insects. Notable dietary adaptations include a flycatcher's acute vision and agile flight. It tends to feed during periods when insect activity is highest, usually dusk and dawn.

Little Pied Flycatcher is typically found in subtropical or tropical moist forests, both in the lowlands and montane regions. These birds prefer habitats that include broadleaf deciduous and evergreen forests across different altitudes, ranging from 700 meters to 3000 meters above sea level. During the breeding season, little Pied Flycatcher frequents forests in the Himalayas from 1200 m to 3000 m, descending to lower elevations in winter. They are also resident in hill forests in Southeast Asia and the Malay Peninsula, and during the non-breeding season, they may inhabit open woodland, orchards, and cultivations' edges. In Wallacea and the Greater Sundas regions, little Pied Flycatcher is found in hill and mossy forests up to 2600 meters elevation, indicating a preference for cooler, higher altitude environments.
