Rock thrush

The rock thrushes, Monticola, are a genus of chats, medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous songbirds. They were in former times placed in the thrush family Turdidae but actually belong in the closely related Muscicapidae. All are Old World birds, and most are associated with mountainous regions.

Three of the species are sometimes separated in Pseudocossyphus.

 * Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush, Monticola rufiventris

 * Short-toed Rock Thrush, Monticola brevipes
 * Sentinel Rock Thrush, Monticola explorator
 * Littoral Rock Thrush, Monticola imerina
 * Forest Rock Thrush, Monticola sharpei
 * Common Rock Thrush, Monticola saxatilis
 * Blue Rock Thrush, Monticola solitarius
 * Red-bellied Rock Thrush, Monticola philippensis
 * Little Rock Thrush, Monticola rufocinereus
 * White-winged Cliff-chat, Monticola semirufus
 * Miombo Rock Thrush, Monticola angolensis
 * Cape Rock Thrush, Monticola rupestris
