Başlığı kahverengi ve hafif çizgili, gözleri büyük ve koyu renk, sırtı desensiz kahverengi, kanatları ise daha koyudur ve açık renk göz alıcı telek kenarları vardır. Alt tarafı gümüş rengi-gri-kirli sarıdan oluşur ve göğsünde belli belirsiz, bulanık çizgiler vardır. Kuyruğu desensiz ve gri-kahverengidir. Koyu renkli gagası oldukça kalındır. Gencinin sırtı açık bej beneklidir. Sesi kendine özgü ve çok hafif titreşimli bir zii ya da zii-tiktik; ötüşü tiz ve gıcırdamayı andıran düzgün aralıklı notalardan ibarettir.Orman kenarlarında, parklarda, bahçelerde, tenis kortlarında ve mezarlıklarda bol bol tüner. Çok kısa olan bacaklarının üzerinde dimdik tüner, kuyruğu ve uzun kanat uçları aşağı doğrudur (ötleğenin tipik yatay pozu gibi değil; ayrıca, yapraklar ve yeşillikler üzerinde dolaşmaz ya da hoplamaz). Uçan böcekleri yakalamak için kendine özgü şekilde birden havalanır ve tüneğine hemen geri döner.
The Spotted Flycatcher, Muscicapa striata, is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia, and is migratory, wintering in Africa and south western Asia. It is declining in parts of its range.
This is an undistinguished looking bird with long wings and tail. The adults have grey-brown upperparts and whitish underparts, with some streaking on the breast. The legs are short and black, and the bill is black and has the broad but pointed shape typical of aerial insectivores. Juveniles are browner than adults and show the spots on the upperparts which give this species its name.
Spotted Flycatchers hunt from conspicuous perches, making sallies after passing flying insects, and often returning to the same perch. Their upright posture is characteristic.
They are birds of deciduous woodlands, parks and gardens, with a preference for open areas amongst trees. They build an open nest in a suitable recess, often against a wall, and will readily adapt to an open-fronted nest box. 4-6 eggs are laid.
Interestingly, most European birds cannot discriminate between their own eggs and those of other species. The exception to this are the hosts of the Common Cuckoo, which have had to evolve this skill as a protection against that nest parasite. Spotted Flycatcher shows excellent egg recognition, and it is likely that it was once a host of the Cuckoo, but became so good at recognising the intruder's eggs that it ceased to be victimised. A contrast to this is the Dunnock, which appears to be a recent Cuckoo host, since it does not show any egg discrimination.
