The Indian paradise flycatcher (''Terpsiphone paradisi''), is a medium-sized passerine bird native to Asia that is widely distributed. As the global population is considered stable, it has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2004. The birds inhabit Central to Southeast Asia.〔 Males have elongated central tail feathers, and a black and rufous plumage in some populations, while others have white plumage. Females are short-tailed with rufous wings and a black head.〔 Asian paradise flycatchers feed on insects, which they capture in the air often below a densely canopied tree. In his description of 1758, Carl von Linné nominated the species ''Corvus paradisi''.〔Linnæus, C. (1758). Caroli Linnæi Systema naturæ per regna tria naturæ, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis. Editio decima, reformata. Holmiæ, Impensis Direct. Laurentii Salvii〕 Paradise-flycatchers used to be classified with the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae, but are now placed in the family Monarchidae together with monarch flycatchers. ==The 2015 Taxonomic Reclassification== The Indian paradise flycatcher, the Amur paradise flycatcher, and the Oriental paradise flycatcher were all fomerly considered conspecific, and together called the Asian paradise flycatcher. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indian paradise flycatcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
