Agricola is a genus of small passerine birds in the large family Muscicapidae commonly known as the Old World flycatchers. They are restricted to sub-Saharan Africa.
Taxonomy

A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2023 found that the genus Melaenornis was not monophyletic.[1] In the resulting rearrangement, two species were moved from Melaenornis to the resurrected genus Agricola that had been introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte to accommodate the chat flycatcher.[2][3]
Species

The genus contains two species:[3]

Pale flycatcher, Agricola pallidus
Chat flycatcher, Agricola infuscatus
