Copsychus pyrropygus or more commonly known as rufous-tailed shama is a medium-sized bird in the Muscicapidae family. It can grow up to 23 cm long (Lim et al., 2020). One can easily identify them by their bright orange rufous tail with dark tip. In order to differentiate the gender, the male has blackish grey head, breast and upperparts, as well as white supercilium in front of eye. While for the female, it has browner upperparts and the entire underparts are orange rufous. This species inhabits primary and logged forests, from lowlands to nearly 1,000m a.s.l. It is distributed in Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo (Jeyarajasingam, 2012)
