English: The Female Little Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula westermanni) is a small passerine bird found in various parts of Asia. It has more subdued colors compared to the male. She typically has olive-brown upperparts and paler underparts, with a white belly and a white patch on the wings. The female's plumage helps her stay camouflaged while nesting. This species is found in the foothills of the Himalayas, parts of Southeast Asia, including countries like India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia. They inhabit montane forests, often at elevations between 1,000 and 3,000 meters. They prefer areas with dense undergrowth, which provides ample food sources and nesting sites. The Female Little Pied Flycatcher is an essential part of the ecosystem, helping control insect populations and contributing to the biodiversity of montane forests.
