The Satin Flycatcher (*Myiagra cyanoleuca*) is a small, energetic songbird found mainly in eastern and southeastern Australia, with some birds migrating as far north as New Guinea during the non-breeding season. It is known for its upright posture, quick movements, and a preference for forested habitats, especially near water. The species is part of the Monarchidae family and is notable for its seasonal migration and the clear visual differences between males and females.
