Red-breasted Flycatchers are typically found in wooded habitats across Pakistan during their migratory periods. They breed in the forests of northern Europe and Asia, including parts of Russia and Siberia, and migrate southward during the winter, reaching Pakistan and other parts of South Asia.

These flycatchers are known for their active foraging behavior, often darting out from perches to catch insects mid-air. During the breeding season, males establish territories and engage in courtship displays to attract females. They build cup-shaped nests in trees or shrubs, where females lay eggs and both parents take turns incubating them. During migration, they travel in small groups and are often spotted in gardens, parks, and woodland areas across Pakistan.
