They were formerly classified in the [[thrush (bird)| thrush]] family ([[Turdidae]]), but are more often now treated as part of the [[Old World flycatcher]] family ([[Muscicapidae]]). There are two main groups: the true redstarts of the [[genus]] ''[[Phoenicurus]]'' and the more aberrant and not too closely related [[White-capped Redstart|White-capped]], [[Plumbeous Redstart|Plumbeous]], [[Luzon Redstart|Luzon]], and [[White-bellied Redstart]]s. These are insectivorous ground feeding [[bird]]s, many of which have the red tail ("start" is the [[English language|modern English]] reflex of [[Middle English]] ''stert'', [[Old English language|Old English]] ''steort'', tail of an animal), which gives the group its name. Most northern species are strong [[bird migration|migrants]]. New World redstarts of the genera ''[[Setophaga]]'' and ''[[Myioborus]]'' are not closely related; they are [[New World warbler]]s of the family [[Parulidae]]. Members of the latter genus are sometimes called "whitestarts".
