ひたき

• (Tokyo) ひたき [hìtákí] (Heiban – [0])[1]
• IPA^(key): [çita̠kʲi]

Referred originally just to the 尉鶲 (jō bitaki, “Phoenicurus auroreus or Daurian redstart”), later came to refer to a number of visually similar species.

Likely a shift from 火焚き (hitaki, “lighting a fire”) below, from the characteristic call of the bird, which resembles the sound of striking a flint against a firestarter.[1][2][3]

1. 鶲, 火焼: an Old World flycatcher: a bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family
