Muscicapa striata
Adult spotted flycatchers are ashy-brown with a softly streaked dullish white breast; the forehead is also streaked. Younger birds have pale brown spots on the head and back. They usually perch in a very upright position on vantage points ; this habit earned the species the local name 'post bird'. The voice is thin but distinctive, including a 'see tk-tk' when disturbed.

Greek common names: Μυγοχάφτης, Σταχτομυγοχάφτης.
