The narcissus flycatcher is a highly migratory Old World flycatcher, found as a vagrant from Australia in the south to Alaska in the north. In full breeding plumage the male is very distinctive, with a black crown and mantle, a bright orange throat, an orange-yellow eyebrow and rump, black wings with a white patch and a black tail. Females are buff-brown with rusty wings. (Wikipedia, general species account)

It feeds mainly on insects and lives in deciduous woodland. Breeding males sing repeated melodious whistles, and males arrive in the breeding area before females, preparing a nest that helps in choosing a mate. (Wikipedia, general species account)
