Tickell's Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis tickelliae) is a small passerine bird found in dense scrub to forest habitats through tropical Asia. Males, as pictured here, have vibrant colours; females are a duller blue. The birds feed on insects, either those caught flying or found on the ground.Photo: JJ Harrison

- Thank you for starting the discussion, Abledoc, but unfortunately I oppose. The standard on Wikipedia (developed through extensive discussion) is to put species names in sentence case, even if some specialists do differently. For more details, check out the "animals, plants, and other organisms" section of the Manual of Style.—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 02:24, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- The standard used for bird names - hyphenation etc are according to the IOC world bird list - http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/chats/ Shyamal (talk) 04:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
