Description
The male African Paradise Flycatcher comes in two distinct forms a rufous morph (pictured above) and a white morph. They may even change colour from rufous to white and can sometimes be seen part way through the change with a mixture of white and rufous feathers. The dark head and blue eye are common to both forms. The female always retains the rufous colouring.
