Taxonomic note
Previously listed as Cyornis hoevelli (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) but unpublished genetic data (Frank Rheindt in litt. via WGAC) clearly place all Cyornis east of Wallace’s Line within Eumyias. To prevent the common names ‘jungle-flycatcher’ or ‘blue-flycatcher’ being applied to species in two different genera, these species are given the common name ‘warbling-flycatcher’. Sometimes placed in genus Niltava. Monotypic.

Population justification: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as common (del Hoyo et al. 2006). This species is considered to have a high dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 2.4% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). It is therefore tentatively suspected that this rate of cover loss may have led to a decline of between 1-19% in the species' population size over the same time frame, with a best estimate of reduction being less than 5%.
