Phoenicurus coeruleocephala, Blue-capped Redstart. An odd small redstart of open dry forests, found in most of the Himalayas and the northern parts of the Indian Subcontinent, with its range extending across Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Male doesn’t look like any other redstarts; somewhat resembles magpie-robins. Dark head and white wingbars are striking; slate-blue sheen on the cap is often not visible. Female has weak warm tones on the tail, unlike most other female redstarts.
