| Taxonomic Notes : | The subspecies elisae is sometimes treated as a separate species Green-backed Flycatcher Ficedula elisae. However, a recent study recommends retaining it as a subspecies of F. narcissina:
Töpfer, T. Systematic notes on Asian birds. 60. Remarks on the systematic position of Ficedula elisae (Weigold, 1922).
Zool. Med. Leiden 80-5 (12), 21.xii.2006. 203-212.— ISSN 0024-0672.
Note that "Ficedula beijingnica", which was at one time regarded as a separate species called Beijing (or Peking) Flycatcher, is now considered to be the first-summer male of F. (n.) elisae and no longer a valid independent taxon. |
