The firmiana malayana or mata lembu, remains here in testimony to man's care-less-ness - its tree had since been felled. Let not the birds leave too.

Different yet similar, almost
An Asian Brown Flycatcher that was almost mistaken for a dark-sided flycatcher for the not so common darker smudging on the breast and down the sides. However the beak, compared to the all black one and more 'petite' of the dark-sided flycatcher, confirmed its identity.
It was also fortunate that this one decided to hang around for a couple of days to enable more images. This flycatcher can be identified with more certainty by its underpart as both the dark-sided and the asian brown sport almost identical back feathers and rump. In addition, the dark-sided flycatcher has streaks that extend all the way down to its belly, and a more stubby darker beak.
