Seychelles paradise flycatcher

The Seychelles paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone corvina) is a rare bird from the genus of paradise flycatchers (Terpsiphone) within the family Monarchidae. It is a forest-dwelling bird endemic to the Seychelles where it is native to the island of La Digue. Males have glossy black plumage with elongated tail feathers, while females are reddish-brown with pale underparts and no long tail feathers. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists this bird as being 'critically endangered' and attempts have been made to increase its numbers by relocating some individuals to Denis Island, another island in the Seychelles archipelago. An alternate common name for the Seychelles paradise flycatcher is the Seychelles black paradise-flycatcher.
