Kashmir Flycatcher

The Kashmir flycatcher breeds in the north-west Himalayas, in forests at 1,800 to 2,400 m, and winters in southern India and, according to Wikipedia, the hills of central Sri Lanka, as well as the Nilgiris and Western Ghats. It is a 13 cm insect-eater, closely related to the red-breasted flycatcher and, like it, flicks its tail up while perched. The male has a grey-brown back and an orange-red throat, breast and flanks bordered with black (Wikipedia, general species account).

Females and first-winter birds are browner above with the red reduced to a pinkish wash, and can easily be confused with female red-breasted flycatchers. It nests in May and June in a tree hole close to the ground, lined with moss, bark and hair. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
