The White-collared Blackbird (*Turdus albocinctus*) is a distinctive thrush found in the Himalayas, characterized by a prominent white half-collar or full collar on its neck, contrasting with its otherwise dark plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid broadleaf and mixed forests, particularly at higher elevations in the Himalayas, ranging from northern India to Bhutan, Nepal, and parts of China.
How to spot
Look for the prominent white collar, especially visible on perched birds. They often forage on the forest floor, flipping leaf litter. Listening for their rich, fluting song is an excellent way to locate them.
When to spot
Resident in many areas, but some populations undertake altitudinal migrations, moving to lower elevations in winter. Best observed during spring and summer when breeding and more vocal.

Its unique white collar makes it easily identifiable among other dark thrush species in its mountainous habitat.
