Flycatcher in Bangkok today (1 Viewer)

[Aladdin]

Dear Members and Bird watchers!!

Just back from Suan Rot Fai and I got a picture of a flycatcher. Bird far away and I don't know hot to ID them.

The light blue Verditer is easy enough to ID. Otherwise it is hard and when I am back home I see a light narrow band on the back marking the feathers just as the Asian Brown Flycatcher in my book. And the bill is also yellowish.

So is this the correct ID?

I was on a elephant safari in Kui Buri a couple of days ago. I spotted a flycatcher that I ID as an Asian Brown. See attached picture #2 + 3 + 4

I was working with the ID of today's flyctcher and I studied this pictures. The bill is black. So now I want to change this bird to a female Taiga Flycatcher. And I learned that it seems like they have changed the name from Taiga to Red-throated Flycatcher.

So the question, should I change bird in picture # 2+3+4 to a Taiga Flycatcher

Kind Regards and happy birding
Aladdin

Hi Aladdin, all photos show Taiga (Red throated) flycatcher 👍🏼

Thank you very much!

So they have the yellow bill and stripe mark on the wing. Pretty hard to ID for me and this is not the first time I have needed help with the ID. The females look very much alike.

Thank you again, highly appreciated!!!

Agree, all are Taiga Fly. The black & white tail pattern is distinctive as either Taiga or Red-breasted, and the dark bill confirms Taiga.

I was working with the ID of today's flyctcher and I studied this pictures. The bill is black. So now I want to change this bird to a female Taiga Flycatcher. And I learned that it seems like they have changed the name from Taiga to Red-throated Flycatcher.

As far as I know there isn't a move towards renaming Taiga as Red-throated. I still hear Red-throated used in Hong Kong, but it doesn't seem to be widely used elsewhere in my experience.
