The Rufous Bush Robin (Cercotrichas galactotes), also called the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin or Rufous Bush Chat, is a small member of the flycatchers. It breeds around the Mediterranean and east to Pakistan. It also breeds south of the Sahara from the Sahel region east to Somalia; these birds are sometimes considered to be a separate species, African Scrub Robin (C. minor). It is partially migratory, wintering in east Africa and India. This is a very rare visitor to northern Europe. This is a bird of dry open country with bushes and shrubs. It builds its nest in a bush; three to five eggs is a typical clutch. The Rufous Bush Robin is larger than the European Robin. It has brown upper parts, whitish under parts, and a prominent whitish eye-stripe. The western race has a paler, warmer brown back than birds in southeast Europe and Asia.
