Atlas pied flycatcher

The Atlas pied flycatcher or Atlas flycatcher (Ficedula speculigera) is a bird in an Old World flycatcher family, one of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers; it is endemic as a breeding species to North-west Africa.

[2] It was formerly regarded as a race of European pied flycatcher, but Sætre et al. (2001) recommended that it is regarded as a species in its own right.

[3] The bird has large white patches on its wing and forehead.

[2] Identification is also covered in Etherington and Small (2003)[4] and van den Berg et al.
