The rock thrushes, Monticola, are a genus of chats, medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous songbirds. All are Old World birds, and most are associated with mountainous regions.

Taxonomy

The genus was erected by the German naturalist Friedrich Boie in 1822.^[1]^[2] Monticola is the Latin word for mountain-dweller or mountaineer.^[3] The genus was formerly included in the thrush family Turdidae.^[4] Molecular phylogenetic studies published in 2004 and 2010 showed that the species are more closely related to members of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.^[5]^[6]

The genus contains the following species:^[7]

White-winged cliff chat, Monticola semirufus (formerly in Thamnolaea)^[8]
Cape rock thrush, Monticola rupestris
Sentinel rock thrush, Monticola explorator
Short-toed rock thrush, Monticola brevipes
Miombo rock thrush, Monticola angolensis
Common rock thrush, Monticola saxatilis
Little rock thrush, Monticola rufocinereus
Blue rock thrush, Monticola solitarius
Chestnut-bellied rock thrush, Monticola rufiventris
Blue-capped rock thrush, Monticola cinclorhyncha
White-throated rock thrush, Monticola gularis
Littoral rock thrush, Monticola imerina
Forest rock thrush, Monticola sharpei
- Benson's rock thrush, Monticola sharpei bensoni
Amber Mountain rock thrush, Monticola erythronotus (split from M. sharpei)
