The rufous-vented paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone rufocinerea) is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. It is found from southern Cameroon to eastern and central Democratic Republic of the Congo and north-western Angola.[2] This species readily hybridizes with the genetically similar African paradise flycatcher.[3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical swamps and shrub-dominated wetlands.
