Fraseria

Fraseria is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Taxonomy

The genus Fraseria was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte to accommodate Fraser's [forest flycatcher]. The genus name was chosen to honour the English natural history dealer and collector Louis Fraser.
The genus formerly include just two species, Fraser's forest flycatcher and the white-browed forest flycatcher, but based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2023, the genus was broadened to include other species.
The genus contains the following eight species:
