Synonyms: Vauriella insignis (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The white-browed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella insignis) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.It is endemic to Luzon island, in the Philippines. The natural habitat of the white-browed jungle flycatcher is tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. This species was previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but was moved to Vauriella when a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Rhinomyias was polyphyletic.
