Russet-tailed Thrush Zoothera heinei

Large thrush, adult rich brown marbled with dark marks above, pale with black scaly marks below. Smaller than Bassian Thrush, and has a larger-appearing bill. In flight when tail is spread, shows white along edge of tail (Bassian Thrush only has a white spot in corner of tail). The smaller wingbar has more prominent thick pale tips than Bassian Thrush. Inhabits wet forests, where it forages in leaf litter. Song a distinctive, thin “whee-doo,” falling in pitch, very unlike Bassian Thrush.
