The scrub robins or bush chats are medium-sized insectivorous birds in the genus ''Cercotrichas''. They were formerly in the thrush family, (Turdidae), but are more often now treated as part of the Old World flycatcher family, (Muscicapidae). They are not closely related to the Australian scrub-robins, genus ''Drymodes'' in the family Petroicidae. Scrub robins are mainly African species of open woodland or scrub, which nest in bushes or on the ground, but the rufous-tailed scrub robin also breeds in southern Europe and east to Pakistan. Species are: * Forest scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas leucosticta'' * Bearded scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas quadrivirgata'' * Miombo scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas barbata'' * Brown scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas signata'' * Brown-backed scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas hartlaubi'' * White-browed scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas leucophrys'' * Rufous-tailed scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas galactotes'' * Kalahari scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas paena'' * Karoo scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas coryphaeus'' * Black scrub robin, ''Cercotrichas podobe'' ==References== *del Hoyo, J.
