These Old World flycatchers are found in hill and mountain forests of Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. Feeding on small invertebrates and berries, they capture their prey in short flights in clearings and forest edges. Breeding from April to July, they build cup-shaped nests in cavities between rocks from moss, leaves, lichens, plant fibers, and hair. Both parents incubate the eggs.
