Fruithunter
Chlamydochaera jefferyi Sharpe, 1887
Turdidae — Thrushes
Fruithunter, Chlamydochaera jefferyi, is a passerine of montane Borneo in the Oriental Region and belongs to the thrush family, Turdidae. It was described by Sharpe in 1887 from birds collected on Mount Kinabalu. The species is set apart from other thrushes and is placed alone in the genus Chlamydochaera. It is native to the Borneo montane rain forests and has also been known as the black-breasted fruit-hunter. Its breeding biology has only recently been described, with the female brooding and incubating two eggs while the male helps feed the nestlings.
