The white-browed bush chat, also known as Stoliczka's bushchat, is an Old World flycatcher in the genus Saxicola, its alternative name after its discoverer, the geologist and explorer Ferdinand Stoliczka. It is found in semi-arid country in north-western India and eastern Pakistan, and has apparently strayed as far east as the Bharatpur area of Rajasthan and as far south as Goa and Pune, with two simultaneous historical records from southern Afghanistan (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account gives no description, measurements, diet or breeding information. SoIB 2023 treats it as endemic to the Indian subcontinent and rates it a High conservation priority, a winter migrant of grassland with a Restricted range of about 21,300 km² and insufficient data on trends (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
