on the back and rump ; upper tail-coverts black ; feathers immediately at 
the base of the upper mandible^ the lores, cheeks, chin and throat black ; 
forehead and a line produced as far as the eye white ; ear-coverts and 
feathers above the eye deep slaty ; a patch on the throat bright chestnut ; 
breast and sides of the neck slaty ; abdomen, vent and under tail-coverts 
white ; flanks olive-brown ; lesser wing-coverts slaty ; the other coverts and 
all the quills brown, edged exteriorly with fulvous ; tail-feathers blackish ; 
the pair next the centre one with a patch of white on the outer web ; the 
others with a larger patch of white extending to both webs ; under wing- 
coverts and axillaries light buff. 
The female is very similar, but the orange patch on the throat is rather 
smaller_, the white on the forehead is much less in extent, and the black 
of the face and throat is replaced by slaty. 
The young bird is brown, both above and below, each feather streaked 
with fulvous. There is no throat-spot^ but the tail is marked with white 
as in the adult. The first change to take place consists in the orange 
patch being indicated and the breast turning ashy. The streaks on the 
upper plumage are present to an advanced age. 
13 ill black ; gape fleshy whitish ; irides dark brown ; feet dark horny 
brown; claws black. [Scully.) 
Length 5*3 inches,, tail 2"3, wing 3^ tarsus "8^ bill from gape '65. The 
female is rather smaller. 
The Orange-gorgeted Flycatcher, according to Mr. Blyth, occurs in 
Arrakan and Tenasserim. Mr. Davison met with one solitary specimen 
of this species on Mooleyit mountain in Tenasserim^ and there is no 
other record of its occurrence in Burmah. 
It extends into India and China, and is probably only a winter visitor 
to Burmah. 
Dr. Jerdon says^ The Orange-throated Flycatcher is found throughout 
the Eastern Himalayas at an elevation of from 6000 to 8000 feet and 
upwards. It is very common about Darjeeling, and may often be seen on 
the roadside^ seated on a fallen tree or stone^ frequently alighting on the 
ground to pick up an insect, occasionally making a dart at one in the air, 
and returning to its perch.
