White-necked Thrush

Turdus nudigenis

The White-necked Thrush (Turdus nudigenis) is a medium-sized songbird found in the forests and woodlands of South America and the Caribbean. It has a distinctive white patch on its neck, which contrasts with its dark brown plumage. This thrush is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate and defend its territory. It forages for insects, fruits, and small invertebrates on the forest floor, using its sharp bill to probe leaf litter and soil. The White-necked Thrush is an important seed disperser for many plant species in its habitat. Despite facing threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, its population is currently considered stable.
