Description
The green-backed flycatcher (Ficedula elisae) is a bird in the family Muscicapidae, which contains the Old World flycatchers. It was long considered to a subspecies of the narcissus flycatcher, but morphological and acoustical differences between the two indicate they are instead separate species. It breeds in northeastern China and winters in southeast Asia. "F. beijingnica", proposed as a separate species called Beijing flycatcher or Peking flycatcher, is now considered by experts to be the first-summer male of this species and thus no longer a valid taxon. 
Feeding Habits
Green-backed Flycatcher primarily consumes small arthropods, occasionally supplementing with fruits like berries. It employs a variety of foraging techniques, including ground foraging, bushy undergrowth rummaging, and aerial flycatching for food capture. Green-backed Flycatcher displays adaptive foraging behavior to diverse habitats.
Habitat
The green-backed Flycatcher typically resides in temperate and subtropical regions, predominantly within broadleaf and conifer forests. Their breeding habitat is characterized by mixed deciduous forests composed of tree species such as poplar, willow, alder, elm, and birch. Outside the breeding season, they inhabit more open woodlands, including areas of selective logging, as well as the peripheries of cultivated lands with scattered trees, coastal scrublands, mangroves, and even urban parks and gardens.
