Description
The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) is a species of flycatcher found in Asia. A distinctive species with almost no lookalike other than the Narcissus flycatcher. Hartert (1907) treated this as a part of the narcissina group. Included in this species complex was the species called Elise's Flycatcher. Weigold (1922) found this species to be distinct and found the elisae and zanthopygia species breeding in the same area in oak forest near Peking. The breeding area of the species is in Eastern Asia. North Korea and China. From 1992, the species has been seen to winter in Central and Southern India.
