The white-browed bush robin (Tarsiger indicus) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found from the Himalayas to south-central China and Taiwan.[2] Its natural habitat is Rhododendron and conifer forests.[3]
The subspecies formosanus, distributed in Taiwan, was described by Ernst Hartert in 1910. It is now proposed to be a full species, the Taiwan bush robin (T. formosanus), in a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2022. It is distinctive in genetics, songs and morphology.[4]
