Yawn ... Shining Flycatcher female

Snapped this one in Kakadu, one of the few varieties I've seen where the female is more brightly coloured, the females are a rich reddy-brown, black and white, whereas the male is all black. Hope you enjoy.

Great shot Richard and well done to catch it calling. I would love to see flycatchers more often than i do.. which is only once ever!

Cheers, Owen.

Great shot - especially open beaked - just like a female! (I can say that 'coz I am one)

Nice shot, Richard. Great angle to catch it in bird-call action!
