Siberian Rubythroat

Calliope calliope (Pallas, 1776)

Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers

Siberian Rubythroat, Calliope calliope, is a passerine of the Muscicapidae family that breeds across central and eastern parts of the Palearctic and spends the non-breeding season in the Oriental Region. It was first described by Pallas in 1776. The species is slightly larger than the European robin and is marked by a plain brown upper body, a black tail with red side patches, and a strong white supercilium. The male shows a red throat with narrow black and broader white edging, while females lack that throat pattern.
