Scaly-breasted Thrasher

Allenia fusca (Müller, PLS, 1776)

Mimidae — Mockingbirds, Thrashers

Scaly-breasted Thrasher, Allenia fusca, is a passerine of the Lesser Antilles in North America and a member of the Mimidae family. It lives mainly in forest and semi-open woodland, and it also occurs near human settlements. The bird is named for the scaly look on its underparts, created by bold markings across the chest and flanks. It has a short, slightly downcurved bill and a thrush-like shape. The species breeds in May and June, placing a cup nest in a bush or tree and laying two or three eggs.
