Description
The brown-breasted flycatcher is 13–14 cm in length and weighs between 10-14 g. The overall colour of the upper parts is olive brown. Some of the feather shafts are darker. The upper tail coverts are brighter rufous as are the edges of the flight feathers. The tail feathers have rufous on the outer webs. The lores are pale and the eye ring is conspicuous. The chin and throat are white while the breast and sides of the body are pale brown. The middle of the body to the vent is buffy white. Submoustachial stripes are faint but mark the boundary of the pale chin while the legs and lower mandible are pale flesh coloured. The most similar species is the Asian brown flycatcher, which has black rather than pale legs. It was named by Layard after Muttu, his servant who brought him the specimen. Although no ringing evidence exists to prove their migration, it is thought that the winter migrants in southern India and Sri Lanka come from north-east India and northern Thailand. A subspecies stötzneri (incorrectly spelt as stotmani by E C Stuart Baker) described from Szechwan by Hugo Weigold in 1922 appears to fall within the range of visible geographic variations and is not usually recognized. The usual call is very faint tseet audible only at close range or a series of notes chi-chi-chi-chi ending with a low chit-chit.

Feeding Habits
Brown-breasted Flycatcher predominantly consumes small invertebrates like flies and beetles. It forages alone or in pairs, hunting from low perches in dense vegetation and exhibiting long periods of stillness before quickly capturing prey, partly during twilight. Maintains feeding territories in the non-breeding season.
Habitat
The habitat of brown-breasted Flycatcher primarily consists of broadleaf evergreen forests. These birds are typically found in areas with dense foliage and a preference for lower altitudes in their non-breeding quarters. Throughout their range, brown-breasted Flycatcher are common along riverbanks within forested regions, favoring lush, well-vegetated environments that support their insectivorous diet.
