About this species
The Asian Paradise Flycatcher is one of India's most exquisite birds — breeding males develop extraordinary ribbon-like tail streamers up to 30 cm long that trail behind them in forest glades. The Indian form has two colour morphs: white and rufous. Kanha, Corbett, and the Western Ghats forests are reliable locations during the breeding season.
