Collared Flycatcher
Ficedula albicollis
Least Concern
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
A black and white flycatcher very similar to the pied flycatcher, from which it is told apart by the complete white collar around the neck, the large white patch on the forehead and the pale rump. Outside the breeding season the black is replaced by brown and it becomes very hard to separate from its relative.
