Observation details
What a sighting, never did I expect to find this species less than a kilometre from my home! I originally intended to visit the park to get some fresh air right after my preparatory tests when I suddenly heard the characteristic 'whistle followed by a trill' call of this species! On investigation, I finally tracked it down after a good five minutes in a mixed party of orioles and barbets. I spent two to three minutes with the female/sub-adult bird, even managing to record some audio, submitted below. A lifer, and the second surprise flycatcher I have encountered at this park! :)
