Black-naped monarch 16-18 cm small, vibrant songbird lives across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Its diet consists almost entirely of small insects caught mid-air.
Highly active, join mixed species foraging flocks this provides safety.

Black-naped Monarch.

Found in Asia. They are sexually dimorphic, with the male having a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar ("necklace"), while the female is duller with olive brown wings and lacking the black markings on the head.

I saw this black-naped monarch a month ago in the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand. The nest was built just a meter or two from the side of the sand road. It was just there in plain sight. What a beautiful bird. #birds #Thailand

#Laos #birding Luang Prabang, Mount Phou Si is the most reliable place. Early am is the best time (obvs). Rather unsettling, you can buy caged Scaly-breasted Munias for $1 from street vendors to release for ‘luck’. My $30 released c50 of them. I’m not sure I’m the lucky one #birdsseenin2026
