The Atlas pied flycatcher or Atlas flycatcher (Ficedula speculigera) is a

North-west Africa.[2]

It was formerly regarded as a race of European pied flycatcher, but Sætre et al. (2001) recommended that it is regarded as a species in its own right.[3] The bird has large white patches on its wing and forehead.[2] Identification is also covered in Etherington and Small (2003)[4] and van den Berg et al. (2006).[5]
