Ten species are known, distributed from Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines through New Guinea to the South Pacific islands and Australia. They are beautiful birds with a metallic green main color, but some species, such as the Red-breasted Flycatcher E. cyaneovirens found in Fiji and Samoa, have a blue body. Many have red heads and tails. The Southern Flycatcher E. trichroa is about 13 cm long and distributed from Celebes through New Guinea to northwestern Australia and the Loyalty Islands.
