The White-capped Redstart or White-capped Water Redstart (Phoenicurus leucocephalus) is a passerine bird of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae native to the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, much of China, and to certain regions of Central Asia.
It is a chunky, brightly-colored redstart found along rushing boulder-strewn mountain streams. It is black with a wine-red belly and tail and a blazing white cap. in poor lighting, the bird appears to be all dark save for the cap. It can frequently be seen flicking its tail up and down and flaring it open while perched on a streamside rock or stump. The call is a long, sharp whistle with an abrupt ending, with a far-carrying, ventriloquial quality - it can be heard in the background in the video.
