The Indian Robin is a small, attractive passerine bird primarily found in open scrubland and cultivated areas. Males are glossy black with a rufous vent, while females are duller brown.
Where to spot
Common and widespread throughout the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. It thrives in dry open country, scrub, and urban gardens.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black plumage (male) and rufous undertail coverts. It often perches on elevated spots like wires or fence posts. Listen for its simple, repetitive song.
When to spot
A resident bird throughout its range, observable year-round. It is particularly active and vocal during the breeding season, which varies by region but generally occurs in spring and summer.

Often seen perching prominently on rocks or low bushes, the Indian Robin is known for its characteristic tail-cocking and tail-flicking behavior, a common trait among many Old World flycatchers.
