Brown rock chat (Oenanthe fusca) or Indian chat, is often found on old buildings and rocky areas mainly in northern and central India. Resembling to a female Indian robin it lacks the reddish vent of robin and differs in posture and behaviour apart from being larger. This insectivorous bird is uniformly rufous brown with the wings and tail of a slightly darker shade. The brown on the undersides grades into a dark grey-brown vent. The sexes are indistinguishable in the field. It also has a habit of slowly raising its tail slightly, fanning it and bobbing its head.
