The Eastern Slaty Thrush (*Turdus subalaris*) is a South American species often recognized by its dark, slate-grey upperparts and rufous-orange lower breast and flanks. It is a denizen of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and subtropical forests in eastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It prefers dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Look for its dark plumage and rufous belly. It is often shy and stays within dense cover, making it difficult to spot. Listening for its rich, fluting song is a primary detection method.
When to spot
Present year-round in its habitat. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times for observation, when the birds are most active in foraging and vocalizing.
