''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.〔Sangster, G., Alström, P., Forsmark, E., & Olsson, U. (2010). Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of Old World chats and flycatchers reveals extensive paraphyly at family, subfamily and genus level (Aves: Muscicapidae). ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 57: 380–392 (Full text )〕 The genus contains the following species:〔IOC World Bird List (Family Muscicapidae )〕 *White-browed bush robin (''Tarsiger indicus'') *Rufous-breasted bush robin (''Tarsiger hyperythrus'') *Collared bush robin (''Tarsiger johnstoniae'') *Red-flanked bluetail (''Tarsiger cyanurus'') *Himalayan bluetail (''Tarsiger rufilatus'') *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.〔Rasmussen, P.
