White-bellied Redstart, Luscinia phaenicuroides, is a bird of the Muscicapidae family that breeds across the Himalayas to central China. It was described by Gray, JE and Gray, GR in 1847. Its name is linked with a former placement in Hodgsonius, but it is now placed in Luscinia. The species was once the only member of that genus. A later molecular study showed that it belongs with a group that includes the common nightingale.
