Bird Carving # 21 : Narcissus Flycatcher (Kibitaki)

This is my twenty-first birdcarving work of Narcissus Flycatcher (Kibitaki).

Narcissus Flycatcher males are very distinctive in full breeding

plumage, having a black crown and mantle, a bright orange throat

with paler chest and underparts, an orange-yellow eyebrow,

black wings with a white wing patch, an orange-yellow rump,

and a black tail. Non-breeding males have varying levels of yellow.

Females are completely dissimilar, with generally buff-brown

coloration, with rusty-colored wings, and a two-toned eyering.
