African Stonechat

The African, or common, stonechat is a member of the Old World flycatcher family inhabiting sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent regions. The males have a black head, a white half-collar, a black back, a white rump and a black tail, with black wings that have a large white patch on the top side of the inner wing, and the subspecies nebularum of tropical West Africa has extensive orange-red on the breast and flanks. Both sexes' plumage is somewhat duller and streakier outside the breeding season, and the species is non-migratory, moving only locally if at all (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account does not describe any occurrence in India. The SoIB 2023 figures attached to this name, of a Low conservation priority, a Very Large range of about 1.37 million km² and winter and localised summer migration, are identical to those of the Siberian stonechat, which suggests the SoIB record refers to that species, so the entry's place on the Indian list should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
