Habitat

Temperate forest

The white-capped, or white-capped water, redstart is a passerine of the Old World flycatcher family. Both sexes are black with red underparts and a white crown; males have a larger white pattern on the top of the head and brown or red spots under the wings. It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus Chaimarrornis but was moved to Phoenicurus based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 (Wikipedia, general species account).
