Philippine Jungle Flycatcher, Cyornis ruficauda, is a passerine in the Old World flycatcher family and breeds in the East Visayas and Mindanao group in the southern Philippines. It is a Philippine endemic and lives in tropical moist lowland forest, reaching up to 1,000 metres above sea level. The species was once placed in Rhinomyias before being transferred to Cyornis after a molecular study in 2010. It was formerly known as the rufous-tailed jungle flycatcher, and the IOC recognised the present name in 2021. Four subspecies are recognised.
