Qilian bluetail

Species of bird

The Qilian bluetail is a small passerine bird of Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It is distributed in north-central China, was described by Wilhelm Meise as a subspecies of the red-flanked bluetail in 1937. The subspecies was previously considered invalid, until recognized by Hadoram Shirihai and Lars Svensson in 2018, and it was proposed to be a full species in a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2022. It is distinctive in genetics and vocalisation, but only marginally different in morphology. The males have bluer fore-supercilium, and less white than in red-flanked bluetail.
