The Chinese Thrush is a medium-sized thrush endemic to central China, characterized by its plain brown plumage, a white throat, and a streaked breast. It inhabits montane forests.
Where to spot
Montane forests, often mixed coniferous and broadleaf, and dense bamboo thickets in central China.
How to spot
Look in dense undergrowth. Its secretive nature means listening for its clear, melodious song is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer). Active early morning and late afternoon.

This thrush is often heard singing its rich, varied song in the dense understory of its montane forest habitat, making it easier to detect by sound than by sight.
