The olive-backed forest robin (Stiphrornis pyrrholaemus) is a species of passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that is found in the Gamba Complex in southwest Gabon. It was described in 2008. The olive-backed forest robin can be distinguished from other species in the forest robin complex by the combination of its olive upperparts, bright orange throat and chest, and cream-yellow belly. Its song is also distinct from other subspecies of the forest robin. Females are generally duller than males. Though this species was described in 2008, a juvenile appears to have been collected on 11 November 1953 in Tchibanga, Gabon. The specimen is deposited in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris. Its identity was confirmed by comparison of the DNA sequences.
