The Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin is primarily distributed across arid and semi-arid regions, including the Thar Desert and scrublands of Balochistan and Sindh provinces. It prefers habitats with low shrubs and sparse vegetation.

This bird is known for its secretive behavior, often hiding amidst dense vegetation. Its melodious song, comprising a series of varied whistles and trills, is a characteristic feature during the breeding season. The Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin feeds mainly on insects and small invertebrates, foraging on the ground and occasionally taking to low perches to survey its surroundings. It is generally a solitary species, although it may form loose pairs during the breeding season.
