The White-throated Rock Thrush is a beautiful and somewhat elusive species, with males exhibiting a striking pattern of black, white, and orange, including a prominent white throat. It prefers forested habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in northeast Asia (Siberia, Korea, Japan) and winters in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It prefers mature coniferous or mixed forests.
How to spot
In its breeding range, search forest interiors, often near clearings or edges. In wintering grounds, look on the forest floor, logs, or low branches. Its contrasting plumage and ground-foraging habits can aid identification.
When to spot
Breeding season is spring/summer in its northern range. It is a migratory species, observed in its wintering grounds from autumn to spring. Look during migration for passage birds.

Unlike many rock thrushes that favor open, rocky areas, this species is typically found within denser forest environments, often foraging on the ground among leaf litter.
