Red-breasted Flycatcher- Female (Ficedula parva)

In the middle of a very dry arid deciduous forest with most trees looking dried and dead, there was one tree in full bloom(yet to id the tree)...it was the spot we choose to spend most of our time, and with good results... these Flycatchers flew in and out but giving us enough time to get some fine shots!!! A lifer!!!

Oh my what a little sweetheart she is Kish... and a super picture that too.

I'm a bit confused though, as the scientific name you used is for Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher - Red-breasted Flycatcher is Ficedula parva. Could you let me know please.

Many thanks for showing her to us my friend.
