Atlas Flycatcher
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 Endemism in birds, endemic as a breeding species to North-west Africa.

The bird has large white patches on its wing and forehead. Identification is also covered in Etherington and Small (2003) and van den Berg ''et al.'' (2006).
