Ficedula Zanthopygia
The yellow-rumped flycatcher (''Ficedula zanthopygia''), also known as Korean flycatcher or tricolor flycatcher, is a species of flycatcher found in eastern Asia. A distinctive species with almost no look-alike other than the narcissus flycatcher. It breeds in eastern Asia including parts of Mongolia, Transbaikal, southern China, Korea and western Japan. They winter in parts of the Malay Peninsula and South Asia. Identification In all plumages the yellow rump is distinctive. The white supercilium of the male is distinctive, separating it from the narcissus flycatcher and the Chinese flycatcher. Females and first year males are olive grey above with blackish tail. Hartert (1910) treated this species as a member of the ''narcissina'' group. Some individuals with yellow supercilium have been considered as hybrids with the narcissus flycatcher. Included in this species complex was the species called Elise's flycatcher, usually treated as a subspecies of the narcissus flycatcher. Bot ...

Birds Of Korea
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming. Birds ...

The genus name is from Latin and refers to a small fig-eating bird (''ficus'', "fig") supposed to change into the blackcap in winter. Extant species The genus contains the following species: * Rusty-tailed flycatcher (''Ficedula ruficauda'') * European pied flycatcher (''Ficedula hypoleuca'') * Atlas pied flycatcher (''Ficedula speculigera'') * Collared flycatcher (''Ficedula albicollis'') * Semicollared flycatcher (''Ficedula semitorquata'') * Yellow-rumped flycatcher (''F ...

Ficedula Timorensis
The black-banded flycatcher (''Ficedula timorensis''), also known as the Timor flycatcher, is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae.
