Genus Muscicapa is a taxonomic classification of birds commonly known as flycatchers. However, there are various synonyms for this classification based on different characteristics such as plumage, geographic location, and behavior. For instance, the European flycatcher is scientifically known as Muscicapa striata, whereas the pied flycatcher is named Ficedula hypoleuca. Similarly, the Asian paradise-flycatcher is classified as Terpsiphone paradisi, and the black-headed flycatcher is referred to as Turdus olivaceus. While these synonyms may vary, what remains constant among these birds is their insectivorous behavior and their role in regulating pest populations.
