Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Rather plain thrush with a rufous tail, brown back, buffy throat, and red eye. Found in woodland and thickets, usually in areas with palms. The pretty song is a variable mix of whistles and scratchy notes, and sometimes incorporates mimicry of other bird species. Somewhat similar to Familiar Chat, but easily separated by its larger size, red eyes, and lack of a black “T” pattern on the tail.
