Plate 24: Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher, Culicicapa ceylonensis (watercolor by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, from her "Neilgherry Birds and Miscellaneous," 1858) This exquisite watercolor illustration, created by Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn in 1858, showcases the Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher (Culicicapa ceylonensis). The bird is depicted perched confidently on a slender branch, its crest raised proudly, displaying the distinctive grey and blue hues on its head and upperparts. The bird's belly is adorned with a warm brown coloration, contrasting beautifully with its blue-grey wings and tail. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn was an accomplished English natural history artist, whose works were widely admired during the 19th century. Her meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illustration, which captures the anatomy of the Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher with remarkable accuracy. The bird's long, curved beak, a characteristic feature of the flycatcher family (Muscicapidae), is clearly visible, as is the delicate fringing on its feathers. The Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher is a passerine bird native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a small, agile bird, with a distinctive appearance, making it a favorite subject for natural history artists and collectors of the 19th century. The illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world, which continues to captivate and inspire us to this day. This watercolor is a valuable historical record of the natural world, showcasing the intricate details of a little-known bird species, and offering a glimpse into the scientific and artistic pursuits of the 19th century. Margaret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn's work remains an important contribution to the field of ornithology and natural history, and a source of inspiration for artists and bird enthusiasts alike.
