The Sulawesi Thrush is an enigmatic and poorly known species endemic to the island of Sulawesi. Its plumage is generally dark, making it blend well into its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Montane forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It prefers dense, undisturbed primary forest, often near ravines.
How to spot
Requires considerable effort due to its elusive nature and restricted range. Focus on dense undergrowth in pristine montane forests, listen for subtle rustling in leaf litter or distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon hours when foraging activity increases.

This species is so secretive and rare that it was not photographed in the wild until 2017, nearly 80 years after its scientific discovery.
