Little Pied Flycatcher

Ficedula westermanni

The Little Pied Flycatcher, with the scientific name Ficedula westermanni, is a charming avian species belonging to the family Muscicapidae. This bird is adorned with a modest yet striking plumage that captures the essence of its forest abode.

Identification Tips

Males of the species can be identified by their contrasting black and white plumage, which is particularly noticeable in the East Java region of Indonesia. Females, as observed in Sattal, India, exhibit a more subdued coloration, which is typical of the sexual dimorphism seen in many bird species.

Habitat

The Little Pied Flycatcher thrives in the lush subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as the cooler, verdant subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These habitats provide the perfect backdrop for this species' life cycle.

Distribution

This bird has a wide range that extends across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Countries graced by its presence include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Conservation Status

The Little Pied Flycatcher is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating that, for now, the species does not face immediate threats to its survival. However, continuous monitoring is essential to ensure it remains out of danger.

The Little Pied Flycatcher's story is yet to be fully told, with many aspects of its behavior, song, breeding habits, diet, and potential similar species yet to be documented in detail. As ornithologists and birdwatchers alike continue to observe and study this species, we will undoubtedly learn more about the nuances of its existence. For now, we celebrate its presence and the joy it brings to those who are fortunate enough to witness it in the wild.

For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦
