The Chestnut-bellied Thrush (*Turdus fulviventris*) is a striking South American thrush characterized by its rich chestnut underparts that contrast sharply with its olive-brown upperparts and gray head. It has a prominent yellow bill.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth in the Andes Mountains, from Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru.
How to spot
Look for the bright chestnut belly and yellow bill, which are unmistakable. It often forages on the ground or in low vegetation. Listen for its loud, melodious, and varied song.
When to spot
Present year-round as a resident in its montane habitat. Observation is best during the early morning and late afternoon when it is actively foraging and singing.
