 ==Taxonomy==
-Although placed in ''Erithacus'' recent genetic studies have shown that east Asian ''Erithacus'' Robins are embedded in ''[[:Category:Luscinia|Luscinia]]'', itself a paraphyletic grouping.  Sangster, G. Alstrom, P. Forsmark, A. 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  suggests splitting ''Luscinia'' s.l. to ''Luscinia'' s.s., ''[[:Category:Larvivora|Larvivora]]'' (which would contain the east Asian species), ''Calliope'' and ''Tarsiger''.
