The eyebrowed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella gularis) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It only lives on the island of Borneo.[2] On Borneo, it lives in elevated areas, including the Meratus Mountains. The natural habitat of the eyebrowed jungle flycatcher is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It builds an open, mossy cup nest, generally in epiphytes or spiny palms.
The eyebrowed jungle flycatcher species used to be placed in the genus Rhinomyias. It was moved to Vauriella when a study focusing on DNA, RNA, and proteins was published in 2010. The study found that Rhinomyias was polyphyletic.[3][4]
