The Reclusive Thrush (*Turdus murinus*), sometimes considered a subspecies of the Black-billed Thrush, is a shy South American bird. It features a generally dull olive-brown plumage, adapted for camouflage in its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Primarily found in humid lowland and submontane forests, as well as dense secondary growth, in parts of the Amazon basin, including southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and northern Peru.
How to spot
Patience is key due to its reclusive nature. Listen for its distinctive calls or song, which can help pinpoint its location. Look for subtle movements within dense foliage near the ground.
When to spot
Active year-round in its native range. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when it might be more active foraging for invertebrates on the forest floor.

As its name suggests, this thrush is notoriously difficult to observe due to its secretive nature and preference for dense undergrowth, making it a challenge for birdwatchers.
