Spotted
The Dubious Rock Thrush is a rare and poorly known species, characterized by its dark upperparts and paler underparts, with a hint of rufous on the tail. Its name reflects its taxonomic uncertainty.
Where to spot
Endemic to the mountains of Yemen and possibly Saudi Arabia, inhabiting rocky, arid slopes with sparse vegetation at high altitudes.
How to spot
Requires visiting its specific, challenging montane habitat. Look for it among rocks and sparse scrub. Any observation is significant for research purposes. Patience is paramount.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observation is challenging due to its rarity and remote habitat. Best sought during the breeding season (spring/summer) when birds might be more vocal.
Very little is known about the biology and ecology of this species due to its rarity and restricted, often remote, mountainous habitat.
