Fraseria

	Fraseria ''Fraseria'' is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that are found in Sub-Saharan Africa. Taxonomy The genus ''Fraseria'' was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte to accommodate Fraser's forest flycatcher. The genus name was chosen to honour the English natural history dealer and collector Louis Fraser. The genus formerly include just two species, Fraser's forest flycatcher and the white-browed forest flycatcher, but based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2023, the genus was broadened to include other species. The genus contains the following eight species: * White-browed forest flycatcher, ''Fraseria cinerascens'' * Fraser's forest flycatcher, ''Fraseria ocreata'' * Grey-throated tit-flycatcher, ''Fraseria griseigularis'' (formerly placed in ''Myioparus'') * Grey tit-flycatcher, ''Fraseria plumbea'' (formerly placed in ''Myioparus'') * Olivaceous flycatcher, ''Fraseria olivascens'' (formerly ...

picture info	Ashy Flycatcher The ashy flycatcher (''Fraseria caerulescens'') is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, excluding the drier areas of South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, where it inhabits subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and savanna. It has a disputed generic placement, with different authorities variously putting it in ''Muscicapa'', ''Fraseria'', or other genera. Ashy flycatchers are mostly grey in colour, with pale grey or white , and display no sexual dimorphism. The species has a small, thin, and pointed beak adapted for eating insects. Its diet is mostly insectivorous, although it also eats berries and small geckoes. The birds are very active, foraging alone, in groups, or in mixed-species flocks. They forage in the upper levels of the canopy, catching prey in flight and from foliage, bark, and leaves. The species breeds in solitary pairs, with each pair maintaining a t ...

Tessmann's flycatcher is now one of eight species placed in the genus ''Fraseria'' that was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. The species is monotypic: no subspecies In Taxonomy (biology), biological classification, subspecies (: subspecies) is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (Morpholog ...
