The Leaden Flycatcher is a native Australian songbird found across northern and eastern Australia, as well as parts of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. It belongs to the Monarchidae family and is well known for its energetic insect-hunting behaviour and upright perching style. This species is a familiar sight in eucalypt woodlands and open forests, especially during the breeding season, and is valued for its ecological role as an insectivore.
