Ashy-breasted flycatcher

The ashy-breasted flycatcher (Muscicapa randi) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae.

It is endemic to the Philippines found only on the islands of Negros and Luzon. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests where it rarely observed. It is threatened by habitat loss.

EBird describes the bird as "A little-known small drab bird of lowland and foothill forest. Gray-brown above, darker in the wing, with a gray-brown chest blending to a white belly and a small white throat patch. Note the bicolored bill, black above and orange below. Similar to Furtive Flycatcher, but slightly larger, with an orange lower bill, no rufous outer tail feathers, and no black band on the end of the tail. Song consists of very high-pitched short phrases repeated at intervals. "

It was formerly conspecific with the Asian brown flycatcher and the Sumba flycatcher. It is differentiated from the Asian brown flycatcher, which is migratory and may be found in the same areas by its shorter wings as the Ashy-breasted is a forest endemic and does not migrate. It also has a slightly longer and orange lower mandible.
