Overview

The Izu robin (Larvivora tanensis) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that is endemic to the Izu Islands of Japan.
The Izu robin was formerly treated as a subspecies of the Japanese robin (Larvivora akahige). It was split from the Japanese robin based mainly on the differences in vocalization.
