Cinclosoma cinnamomeum Gould, 1846

Cinnamon Quail-thrush, Cinclosoma cinnamomeum, is a passerine of the family Cinclosomatidae that breeds in central and south-central Australia. It was described by Gould in 1846. It is an Australian endemic of arid and semi-arid country, and is most often recorded in dry stony ground, especially near dry creek lines, though it also occurs in grassland and shrubland. Its range extends across south-west Queensland, north-west New South Wales, north-east South Australia and the south-east of the Northern Territory. It is a ground-dwelling bird, and males give high-pitched, slightly hissing calls.
