Spotted
Arthur's Thrush (*Turdus arthuri*) is a distinct thrush species from the northern Andes, often considered a subspecies of the Black-billed Thrush. It is characterized by its dark, almost sooty, plumage with a slightly paler belly and a dark bill.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Andes of Colombia, Venezuela, and northern Ecuador. It prefers areas with dense foliage and often stays close to the ground.
How to spot
Search for its dark, uniform appearance in the dim light of the forest. Listen for its distinctive thrush-like calls and song, which can help in pinpointing its location among the dense trees.
When to spot
Present year-round in its mountainous habitat. Like many thrushes, it is most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
This species often forages quietly in the forest understory, making it a challenging bird to spot despite its relatively large size for a thrush.
