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:


 * White-browed forest flycatcher, Fraseria cinerascens
 * Fraser's forest flycatcher, Fraseria ocreata
 * Grey-throated tit-flycatcher, Fraseria griseigularis (formerly placed in Myioparus)
 * Grey tit-flycatcher, Fraseria plumbea (formerly placed in Myioparus)
 * Olivaceous flycatcher, Fraseria olivascens (formerly placed in Muscicapa)
 * Chapin's flycatcher, Fraseria lendu (formerly placed in Muscicapa)
 * Ashy flycatcher, Fraseria caerulescens (formerly placed in Muscicapa)
 * Tessmann's flycatcher, Fraseria tessmanni (formerly placed in Muscicapa)
