Great catch Pankaj. Its simply awesome. Is it a visitor only or it feeds on the fruit of Mitragyna ? Because now a days its very important for us to know the interaction and linkage between plants and animals. In one of my study i have identified 36 species of plants whose fruits are used as food by the Giant squirrel in Karlapat wildlife sanctuary.

Dear Prasad, This is a flycatcher so its obvious it will feed on
insects. They do come down during this season otherwise I have seen
them in Askot. The present pic sud be some where around 300m asl.
