This flycatcher ranges from the eastern Himalayas through southern China and Southeast Asia. A 2021 taxonomic paper transferred it to the genus Leucoptilon; its current name is Leucoptilon concretum.
The male has cobalt-blue upperparts, with a brighter blue forehead. Its throat and breast are blue, grading to grey on the flanks and a whitish belly. The outer tail feathers have a longitudinal white marking.
It uses forest undergrowth and mountain forest. The current species account describes it as an arboreal gleaner of small animal prey.
