The flycatcher-thrushes and ant-thrushes are medium-sized insectivorous birds in the genus Sheppardia of the thrush family Turdidae.

These are African forest dwelling species:

• Rufous Flycatcher-Thrush, Neocossyphus fraseri
• Finsch's Flycatcher-Thrush, Neocossyphus finschii
• Red-tailed Ant-Thrush, Neocossyphus rufus
• White-tailed Ant-Thrush, Neocossyphus poensis

The two ant-thrushes should not be confused with the unrelated South American antthrushes in the family Formicariidae.
