The genus is found in Europe, Asia and Africa. Several species are highly migratory, whereas other species are sedentary.


The flycatchers in the genus Ficedula are typically small with slender bodies and rounded heads. In many cases they are sexually dimorphic in their plumage, with the males being brightly or strikingly coloured and the females being duller or drabber.
