Chestnut Thrush

Turdus rubrocanus

The Chestnut Thrush (Turdus rubrocanus) is a medium-sized thrush found in East Asia. It has a distinctive chestnut-colored plumage on its back and wings, with a white belly and speckled breast. This species is known for its melodious and flute-like song, often heard in the dense undergrowth of its forest habitats. Chestnut Thrushes are primarily insectivorous, foraging on the forest floor for insects, worms, and berries. They are known for their shy and elusive nature, often staying hidden in the dense vegetation. The Chestnut Thrush is a migratory bird, breeding in the forests of eastern Russia and northeastern China, and wintering in southern China and Southeast Asia.
