In male L. c. everetti, the white is restricted to the central and terminal parts of the tail feathers.</p> <p>Description: Large forest flycatcher (18–19 cm body length) with, in adult males of the nominate subspecies, ashy cobalt-blue rear crown/nape, upperparts and secondary coverts, pale and bright blue forehead/forecrown, black lores and chin, black flight-feathers with blue edges and dark gray-blue tail with white longitudinal stripes on the feathers formed by broad white feather edges, mainly to the inner webs. The blue of the ear-coverts, throat and breast is paler than on the upperparts, greying on the flank. The rest of the belly and undertail-coverts are greyish-white. Dark brown iris, pinkish to grey feet and black, thick, slightly hook-tipped bill. Females are mostly brown above and on the breast and flanks, with more rufous edges to the flight-feathers and greyish-white belly and undertail-coverts. The lores, upper throat and thin eye-ring are paler, and there is a broad transverse white crescent on the lower throat.</p> <p>Included­taxa: Leucoptilon c. concretum ­comb.­nov. (Müller, 1836), L. c. cyaneum comb.­nov. (Hume, 1877) and L. c. everetti comb.­nov. (Sharpe, 1890).</p> <p>Etymology: Derived from the Greek λευκός (leucos, white) and πτίλον (ptilon, feather), referring to the white on the tail feathers. The gender is neuter.</p> <p>Comment: White-tailed Flycatcher and its subspecies have previously been placed in the genera Muscicapa (S. Müller 1836; Ali &amp; Ripley 1996), Muscitrea (Hume 1877), Siphia (Sharpe 1890), Niltava (Wolters 1980; Watson et al. 1986) and Cyornis (Sibley &amp; Monroe 1990; Dickinson &amp; Christidis 2014).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/2F4987E82813FFA9FF5EFA8AFC0757FE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
