The little rock thrush (Monticola rufocinereus) is a species of passerine bird in the family Muscicapidae.

It is found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Yemen.

[1] It is found in rocky (inland cliffs and mountain peaks) areas with some trees, and sometimes near settlements.

The male has the head, throat and upper mantle blue-grey, the underparts orange-red, except for the center blackish center tail and tips which form an inverted T shape.

[3] It is readily mistaken for a redstart because of its habit of trembling its tail.
