The Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher (Culicicapa ceylonensis), sometimes known as the Grey-headed Flycatcher, is a species of small flycatcher-like bird found in tropical Asia. It has a square crest, a grey hood and yellow underparts. The grey-headed canary-flycatcher is about 12–13 cm long with a squarish grey head, a canary yellow belly and yellowish-green upperparts. It has a very flat bill (which gave it the earlier genus name of Platyrhynchus) which when seen from above look like an equilateral triangle and is fringed with long rictal bristles. Subspecies antioxantha has a breeding range from southern Burma, Thailand through Malaysia to Java and Bali.
