The person who named this bird apparently cleverly chose the name Yellow-rumped Flycatcher to distinguish the bird from the Narcissus Flycatcher, which is also yellow-rumped.

Though my trip wasn’t dedicated exclusively to birding, that was part of my daily routine and sometimes the focus of my day. Birding Tai Po Kau/Mai Po/Long Valley.
