Green-backed flycatcher

The green-backed flycatcher (Ficedula elisae) is a bird in the family Muscicapidae, which contains the Old World flycatchers.^[1] It was long considered to be a subspecies of the narcissus flycatcher, but morphological and acoustical differences between the two indicate they are instead separate species.^[2] It breeds in northeastern China and winters in southeast Asia.^[1]
