Silver-breasted Broadbill

The Eurylaimidae are a family of passerine birds that occur from the eastern Himalayas to Indonesia and the Philippines. These strikingly patterned broadbills of Asia are forest canopy birds, often revealed only by their throaty staccato calls. The Silver-breasted Broadbill is a small quiet bird with a distinctly silky, smooth-feathered appearance. Pale below and warm soft brown above with a black crescent above the eye and a glossy blue patch on the dark wings. It usually moves around through the middle layers of foothill and montane forest and does not often join mixed-species foraging flocks, instead tending to stick to medium-sized groups of its own species.
