Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Large, gray-brown thrush. Note the white throat streaked with brown and the yellow bill. Inhabits seasonally flooded forest, and locally also savanna and white sand forests, where it mostly forages at lower levels. The song is slow, with whistled notes, and the species also makes mewing calls and rapid “cuk” notes. The similar Hauxwell's Thrush and Black-billed Thrush have black bills.
