The '''white-throated bush chat''' ('''''Saxicola insignis'''''), also known as '''Hodgson's bushchat''', is an [[Old World flycatcher]] in the genus ''[[Saxicola]]''. It is [[IUCN Red List]]ed as [[Vulnerable species|Vulnerable]] as of 2018. In 2001, the global population has been estimated at between 3,500 and 15,000 individuals. The major threat appears to be the rapid loss of grasslands in its wintering areas. It winters in the [[Nepal]] and [[India]]n [[Terai]] and in the [[Dooars]]. In this region, it has been recorded in [[Jim Corbett National Park|Jim Corbett]], [[Shuklaphanta National Park|Shuklaphanta]], [[Chitwan National Park|Chitwan]], [[Kaziranga National Park|Kaziranga]], and [[Manas National Park]]s and in [[Lumbini Crane Sanctuary]]. It prefers wet and dry grasslands, reeds and [[tamarisk]]s along riverbeds, and also occurs in [[sugarcane]] fields. In spring and summer, it breeds in the alpine or sub-alpine meadows and scrub in the mountains of [[Mongolia]] and adjacent parts of [[Russia]].<ref name=iucn/>
