The Taiga Flycatcher is primarily found in the northern regions, particularly in the mountainous areas such as the Himalayas and the Karakoram Range. It inhabits coniferous forests, dense scrublands, and mixed woodlands at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 3,500 meters above sea level.

The Taiga Flycatcher is known for its agile and active behavior, often seen perching on exposed branches or flying out to catch insects on the wing. It feeds mainly on small insects and occasionally consumes berries and fruits. During the breeding season, males exhibit territorial behavior and engage in courtship displays to attract mates. Nests are typically constructed in tree hollows, crevices, or among dense vegetation. This species migrates to warmer regions during the winter months.
