The male yellow-rumped flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) distinguishes itself from the narcissus flycatcher by having a white super cilium.
His upper parts are black with a white wing patch, a white super cilium, and a yellow rump and underparts.
During the spring, an orange flush on the neck and breast is common.
The female is not as impressive as the male.
She has a drab olive upper body, a pale yellowish-buff belly, and subtle brownish mottling on the neck and breast.
Her rump is golden, and she has white spots on her wings.
Yellow-rumped flycatchers breed in regions of Mongolia, Transbaikal, southern China, Korea, and western Japan.
They spend the winter in the Malay Peninsula and South Asia.
These birds like habitats such as woods, parks, gardens, forested regions, and mangroves.
Yellow-rumped flycatchers are opportunistic birds that eat tiny invertebrates as well as small fleshy fruits, particularly the berries of the Macaranga javanica.
Manchuria, Korea, and China are the species’ breeding grounds.
The breeding season in the Xiaoxingan area is primarily from May to June.
Breeding mostly in low valleys at the base of hills, a pair’s home range might vary between 2000 and 5000 square meters.
The female builds the nest in around three to four days.
She lays a clutch of 4 to 7 eggs, which she incubates for 11 to 12 days.
To feed the chicks, the adults forage within about 70 meters of the nest. After 14 to 15 days, the young fledge.
