Nilgiri-Erddrossel Zoothera neilgherriensis

Chunky brown thrush with a long bill and “scaled” plumage; very similar to other members of the Scaly Thrush complex, but ranges do not overlap. Forages on the ground singly in dense shaded foothill forest, usually in wet areas such as near streams or gullies. Song is composed of widely spaced ringing, chirping, and buzzing phrases.
