● "Le Gobe-mouche véloce, comme toutes nos espèces Européennes, a des mouvemens brusques et précipités; il fond sur les insectes qui passent à sa portée et vient se replacer en ambuscade sur l'extrémité des branches des arbres, où il attend et guette une nouvelle proie. Un noir bleuâtre nuancé de reflets d'acier poli couvre les ailes, la queue et les parties supérieures du corps, le croupion seul excepté; cette partie, toutes celles du dessous du corps et le bord externe de la penne latérale de la queue sont d'un blanc pur" (Temminck 1826) (Hemipus).
