The breeding season of the Rufous Flycatcher is from May to July. It usually nests in caves on steep rock slopes or between rocks, and also in natural tree holes. The nest is cup-shaped, mainly composed of moss, with fine fibrous roots inside. Each nest usually lays 4 eggs, which are light yellow or yellowish, with pink-brown or light red spots, especially dense at the blunt end, often forming a ring at the blunt end. The size of the egg is 16-19 mm × 12.9-14.2 mm. The female bird is mainly responsible for incubation, and the male bird occasionally participates in the incubation activities. The chicks are late-maturing, with an incubation period of 12-13 days, and the male and female parents raise the chicks together.
