Rufous-tailed Rock-Thrush is a small bird species found in Pakistan. It has distinctive rufous coloring on its tail and a greyish-brown body. Males have a blue-grey head and throat, while females have a more subdued appearance.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Rufous-tailed Rock-Thrushes inhabit rocky habitats across various regions of Pakistan, including mountainous areas, cliffs, and rocky outcrops. They are commonly found in northern regions such as the Himalayas, as well as in parts of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.

These birds are typically solitary or found in pairs during the breeding season. They feed primarily on insects, foraging on the ground or hopping among rocks in search of prey. Rufous-tailed Rock-Thrushes are known for their melodious songs, which they use to communicate and establish territories during the breeding season. They are migratory birds, with some populations in Pakistan migrating to warmer regions during the winter months.
