Alpine Thrush

Zoothera monticola

The Alpine Thrush (Zoothera monticola) is a medium-sized thrush found in the high-altitude mountain ranges of Asia, including the Himalayas. It has a distinctive brown and white speckled plumage, with a spotted breast and a pale belly. This species is known for its melodious and flute-like song, which echoes through the alpine meadows. The Alpine Thrush primarily feeds on insects, earthworms, and berries, foraging on the ground and occasionally in low vegetation. Due to its remote and rugged habitat, this species is not commonly seen by humans and remains relatively understudied.

Habitat: High-altitude mountain ranges
