Atlas and Iberian Pied Flycatchers
A major paper on the identification of Atlas (Pied) Flycatcher Ficedula speculigera by Andrea Corso et al. is due to be published in the forthcoming issue of Dutch Birding.
The editor Arnoud B. van den Berg wrote:
Many thanks to Arnoud and of course to Andrea and his colleagues.
p.s. although I received this in a internal email, I thought I would share this with you since it's already near the publication date. Also, for those of you who are not subscribers, it's time to subscribe to this great birding journal who do their best to serve the WP birding community. (I think many in this forum will agree with me in this).

Iberian Pied Flycatcher
Go-South, 23 May 2015: Iberian Flycatcher in Morocco.
The sole accepted Moroccan record was submitted by van den Berg et al, but see also the ringing recoveries discussed in...
- van den Berg & The Sound Approach 2006. Phenology and identification of Atlas and Iberian Pied Flycatchers. Dutch Birding 28(1): 1–6.

Of course, for Morocco, the fact is that observers could not be sure about positively ID iberiae, as you'll read in our paper they are identical or almost so in most plumages -(but not on call and DNA - NB: however, there are no taxonomical discussion on the paper, we did not deal with this issue, as then genetic should be done with wider samples and different multiple analisy)
BUT, of course, and for sure, iberiae pass across Morocco to reach Spainish breeding grounds... so it is surely regular in Morocco but simply could not be ID for sure when in the field as for iberiae(cinereocapilla wagtails for me

Indeed, Andrea. It doesn't take rocket science (or even ringing recoveries!) to deduce that Spanish-breeding migrant landbirds pass through Morocco.
Looking forward to your forthcoming papers - you've evidently been very busy recently. :t:

Atlas Flycatchers in Europe
So these articles have also implication on any already accepted Atlas Flycatchers in Europe (if the original ID was based only on phenotype).

Are there any European records of Atlas Flycatcher?

I wrote 'any' because I have seen now and then many 'possible Atlas Flycatcher in...".
Netfugl cites 2 possibles from Catalonia, and 2 in Sicilian Islands.
Tarsiger cites one more at Ventotene, off mainland Italy and one from Malta.
Edit: "Pictures 221 & 257 of the article": where?
p.s. Off-topic: while looking at the Atlas Flycatcher section at Birdguides, I noticed a beautiful bird photographed at 'Hotel Jasmina' sic. So some people seem to rely on phonetic when writing names. It's Hotel Yasmina, and Yasmina is a girl's first name. For native names, we don't pronounce J as Y but close to G, so for us Jasmina is Gasmina (but we pronounce foreign names like 'Juventus F.C.' both ways).

See details and discussion for a speculigera/iberiae sighting in Catalonia on 1st May 2012 (in Spanish) at Reservoir Birds:
http://www.reservoirbirds.com/Articles/RBAR_000005.pdf
At the moment, the authors left as speculigera/iberiae based on comments by José Luis Copete and Ferran López, who have worked with both taxa and conclude they cannot be safely identified in the field.
I missed the bird for just 5 minutes...
Cheers,
