Chestnut-backed Thrush
Geokichla dohertyi Hartert, EJO, 1896
Turdidae — Thrushes
Chestnut-backed Thrush Geokichla dohertyi is a thrush of the Lesser Sundas in Australasia, breeding from Lombok to Timor. Hartert, EJO, described it in 1896. It is a ground thrush, and its range is tied to Indonesia’s eastern islands. The bird is already gone from Lombok and may also have disappeared from the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its scientific name honours the American entomologist William Doherty.
