Ficedula speculigera - MHNT

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.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref>

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.<ref name="Saetre et al., 2001"/> The bird has large white patches on its wing and forehead.<ref name=":0" /> Identification is also covered in Etherington and Small (2003)<ref name="Etherington et al., 2003"/> and van den Berg et al. (2006).<ref name="van den Berg et al., 2006"/>
