5 thoughts on “Rufous-breasted Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis camarinensis)”
I suspect this map shows a much greater area of occurrence than reality. This species and its very close relative Blue breasted seem to need high quality forest. Even the map in the Lynx guide is probably overestimated – just so that it is visible in the guide.

We thank D. Allen for their comment. The information will be incorporated into the updated species’ range map.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2025 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classification outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 4 May 2025, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2025 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in October 2025, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
