The two canary-flycatchers — Citrine Canary-Flycatcher of the Philippines and Greater Sundas (right, photo © Blake Matheson) and Gray-headed Canary-Flycatcher C. ceylonensis of southern Asia — are small, active, and conspicuous flycatchers in montane forests within their range. They perch upright, making typical flycatching forays beneath of the canopy, and are often a member of mixed bird parties; Rasmussen & Anderton (2005). They thus resemble many muscicapid flycatchers, and do not behave like fantails. Beresford et al. More
