Tarsiger is a genus of eight 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.

[2] The genus Tarsiger was introduced in 1845 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson with the golden bush robin as the type species.

[3][4] The genus name is from Ancient Greek tarsos, "flat of the foot" and Latin gerere, "to carry".

[1] 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.
