This small flycatcher is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. It searches the lower forest growth for small invertebrates.
The male has dark blue-gray upperparts and a rufous-orange throat. The color fades across the breast and flanks to white underparts, and the eyelid is bright turquoise.
It is usually seen in pairs, searching dense undergrowth and the ground for food. Its diet is largely unknown, but includes small invertebrates.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
