The Pale-vented Thrush is a widespread South American thrush characterized by its plain, uniform olive-brown plumage and a distinctly pale, often whitish, vent area.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, often in dense undergrowth, across much of tropical South America.
How to spot
Look in dense undergrowth on the forest floor. It can be secretive, so patience and quiet observation are key. Its pale vent is a crucial identification feature. Listen for its calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly dawn and dusk.
