This is a monotypic species^[1].
Formerly named Ficedula hodgsonii but this creates confusion with Pygmy Flycatcher which is now also placed in the genus Ficedula. Has also been named Ficedula sordida; however, the older name Ficedula erithacus is now considered valid.

Habitat

Moist lowland forests and montanes.
