Green-backed Flycatcher - Ficedula narcissina elisae
Narcissus (Green-backed) Flycatcher: Narcissus (Green-backed) Flycatcher - Ficedula narcissina elisae
Same "subadult" male photographed on 09 Feb 2005
The faint light olive brow and greenish head and mantle is distinct for this species.
Males of both Green-backed Flycatcher and another closely related Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (
Ficedula zanthopygia
) have yellow rump, but Green-backed lacks the distinctive broad white brow.
Below are photos of a female photographed on 09 Feb 2005 at another spot 100 meters away from where the male was taken. Female is different from male by having greyer upperpart, duller yellow on the breast and olive-green(not yellow) rump.
