The firethroat (Calliope pectardens) also known as David's rubythroat or Pere David's orangethroat is a species of passerine bird in the family Muscicapidae, found in the northern parts of China, primarily the Sichuan. It breeds in Sichuan, China, and winters primarily in the Indian subcontinent. Its wintering range spans across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Tibet and Myanmar. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The firethroat was previously placed in the genus Luscinia. A large molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Luscinia was not monophyletic. The genus was therefore split and several species including the firethroat were moved to the reinstated genus Calliope.[2][3]
