The brown-chested alethe (Chamaetylas poliocephala) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It has a discontinuous range of presence across the African tropical rainforest.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The brown-chested alethe was formally described in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte based on a manuscript by Coenraad Temminck. Bonaparte gave the binomial name as Trichophorus (Griniger) and the locality as Africa. The locality has been restricted to the island of Bioko (formally Fernando Po).[2][3] The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek polios meaning "grey" with -kephalos meaning "-headed".[4] The brown-chested alethe is now one of four species placed in the genus Chamaetylas that was introduced in 1860 by Ferdinand Heine.[5]
Nine subspecies are recognised:[5]
