Habitat
Temperate, mixed deciduous forests, with a dense shrubby understorey. From 1,800 - 2,700 m.

Range (Guide)
India (B) (NB) (P), Nepal (P), Pakistan (B), Sri Lanka (NB).

Population
Estimated population is 2,500 - 9,999 (2010) and decreasing.

Status VU
Habitat destruction and degradation of its breeding habitat as a result of commercial timber extraction, conversion of land for agriculture, livestock-grazing which has substantially altered forest understorey structure and composition, and tree-lopping for animal fodder, fuelwood and construction materials, is the main threat.

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Originally named as Siphia hyperythra, but that name invalid, as preoccupied. Sometimes placed in genus Muscicapa. Probably forms a superspecies with Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) and sometimes considered conspecific, but the two differ distinctly in plumage and wing structure.

Similar Species
