Atlas pied flycatcher


Atlas pied flycatcher or Atlas flycatcher 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.
It was formerly regarded as a race of European pied flycatcher, but Sætre et al. recommended that it is regarded as a species in its own right. The bird has large white patches on its wing and forehead. Identification is also covered in Etherington and Small and van den Berg et al..
