red-breasted flycatcher
ficedula parva latin

It is similar in shape to the slightly smaller Red-breasted Flycatcher.

It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher.

A red-breasted flycatcher had been caught in the Garden Heligoland trap.

She was far to the west of her east European breeding grounds and only the third spring red-breasted flycatcher record for Spurn.

At one time it was considered to be a subspecies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher, Ficedula parva.

The Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family.

The Asian species Ficedula albicilla previously considered a subspecies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher, but has the red throat surrounded by grey and a different song.

He was particularly interested in bird migration, and for many years his studies of the Red-breasted Flycatcher (1911) and Eurasian Siskin (1930) were the major works on those species.

She saw greater numbers of small birds hopping, flying, singing, and flashing their brilliant colors: nightingales and warblers, blackcaps, whitethroats, red-breasted flycatchers, golden orioles, and many other varieties.

Some species have nicknames, for example: "RB Flicker" for Red-breasted Flycatcher, "Gropper" for Grasshopper Warbler, "PG Tips" for Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler.

Several have white or rufous patches on the sides of the tail, giving a pattern recalling that of the closely related wheatear (Oenanthe), or some of the less closely related Muscicapinae (e.g. Red-breasted Flycatcher, Ficedula parva).
