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.

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.
