The red-flanked bluetail ( Tarsiger cyanurus ), also known as the orange-flanked bush-robin , is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It, and related species, are often called chats.
