THE COLLARED FLYCATCHER. 

 Muscuapa collaris, Bechstein. 

 Plate 14. 



This is a near ally of the Pied Flycatcher, and, as may be seen on looking at 

 the plate, differs from it in having a broad white collar right round the neck, and 

 the patches of white on the forehead and wing primaries are larger. 



Only two examples of this bird have been recorded in England, both having 

 been shot at Winchelsea, one on the 12th, and the other on the 13th May 191 1. 

 It is a summer visitor to Central and Southern Europe and Asia Minor, spending 

 the winter in Africa. 



The females of the two species closely resemble each other.
