Tarsiger

Tarsiger is a genus of six species of birds in the family Muscicapidae. They are small, mostly brightly coloured insectivorous birds native to Asia and (one species) northeastern Europe; four of the six species are confined to the Sino-Himalayan mountain system. The genus has sometimes been included within the related genus Luscinia, but the species have been found to form a distinct monophyletic group.

The genus contains the following species:
 * Rufous-breasted Bush-Robin (Tarsiger hyperythrus)
 * Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus)
 * Himalayan Bluetail (Tarsiger rufilatus)
 * White-browed Bush-Robin (Tarsiger indicus)
 * Collared Bush-Robin (Tarsiger johnstoniae)
 * Golden Bush-Robin (Tarsiger chrysaeus)

Until recently, the Himalayan Bluetail was treated as a subspecies of the Red-flanked Bluetail. It was split on the basis of its more intense plumage colours, and its ecology and behaviour, being a short-distance altitudinal migrant not a long distance migrant.
