Why it matters
The African Shrike-flycatcher, or *Megabyas flammulatus*, is a striking member of the family Vangidae found in the canopy of African rainforests. Collectors and birders prize this species for its distinctively notched tail and pointed wings, which are uniquely adapted for its specialized behavior of sallying out from high branches to capture aerial insects.
