Spotted Flycatcher

A first time seen lost migrant spotted in Singapore Kent Ridge Park. It was here likely due to 'navigation error'. Native to Palearctic region from Western Europe to North Mongolia. The birds breed in the swampy coniferous forest of Russia and Mongolia, west to Europe, south to mountains of Central Asia. The birds typically migrate from northern Asia to Africa via Middle East and Western India. The bird is very similar to Asian Brown Flycatcher, except it has additional streaks on its crown and chest, and a lower beak with more black than orange.
