The white-tailed stonechat (Saxicola leucurus) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae.

The male has black head, white collar and bright rufous chest patch.

[2][3][4] White-tailed stonechats are resident in suitable marshy habitats in the Indus River valley, southern Himalayan foothills, the Terai–Duar savanna and grasslands, Bangladesh, South Assam Hills, Manipur and Myanmar.

[2][3] Typical of stonechats, they catch their prey by dropping to ground or making short sallies from their perch.

Key breeding season is Mar-May when it makes a cup shaped nest in natural depressions on the ground among plants like lotuses or tamarisk.
