Classification: Genus Monticola (Monticola); Family Thrushes (Turdidae)General:
The little rock thrush (Monticola rufocinereus) is a 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 areas with some trees, and sometimes near settlements.[2][3][4] At 15 to 16 centimetres (5.9 to 6.3 in) this is the smallest of the rock thrushes. The male has the head, throat and upper mantle blue-grey, the underparts orange-red, except for the centre blackish centre tail and tips which form an inverted T shape. The female is duller and paler.[3] It is readily mistaken for a redstart because of its habit of trembling its tail.[4]
