The Red-throated Thrush (*Turdus erythropleurus*) is a migratory thrush of Eurasia, recognized by the male's vibrant rufous-orange throat and breast, which contrasts with its brown upperparts and white belly. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Breeds across central and eastern Siberia. It migrates south to winter in Southeast Asia, including parts of India, China, and Myanmar. It inhabits open woodlands, grasslands, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for the male's prominent red throat and breast. They often forage on the ground in open areas for earthworms and insects. Listen for their distinctive, somewhat scratchy calls.
When to spot
Best observed during its breeding season (late spring/summer) in its northern range, or during migration (spring/autumn) and winter (late autumn to early spring) in its southern range.

Its striking coloration makes it easily distinguishable from other thrush species in its wintering grounds, especially when seen foraging in open fields.
