Taxonomy and systematics
The Dyaul flycatcher, the velvet flycatcher (M. eichhorni), and the Mussau flycatcher were formerly considered subspecies, but were reclassified as distinct species by the IOC in 2021. The three species were formerly grouped together as the velvet flycatcher under the scientific name M. hebetior.[2]
