Spanish: Papamoscas Coliblanco
Other common names: White-tailed Flycatcher, Short-tailed Blue-flycatcher
Taxonomy: Muscicapa concreta Statius Muller, 1836, interior area of west coast of Sumatra.
Somewhat aberrant flycatcher; in past placed in genus Niltava (even when most current congeners were not), and has been suggested as meriting a genus of its own. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- cyaneus (Hume, 1877) - extreme NE India (E Arunachal Pradesh, S Assam, E Meghalaya, Mizoram), NW & S Myanmar (Tenasserim), S China (S Yunnan), W & S Thailand, N Laos and N Vietnam (Tonkin S to C Annam).
- concretus (Statius Muller, 1836) - Malay Peninsula and W Sumatra.
- everetti (Sharpe, 1890) - Borneo.
