Rufous-backed Thrush

Turdus roehli

The Rufous-backed Thrush, or Turdus roehli, is a medium-sized songbird found in the highlands of South America. It is known for its striking rufous back and tail, contrasting with a white belly and dark wings. These thrushes are often found in dense undergrowth and forest edges, where they forage for insects, fruits, and berries. Their melodious song can often be heard echoing through the mountainous terrain. The Rufous-backed Thrush is an important seed disperser and plays a key role in maintaining the ecological balance of its habitat.
