Orange-headed Thrush

It is common in well-wooded areas of India, China and southeast Asia. Most populations are resident. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas, and like many Zoothera thrushes, can be quite secretive.

Orange-headed thrushes are omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, worms and fruit. They nest in trees. They do not form flocks.

Males of this small thrush have uniform grey upperparts, and orange head and underparts. Females and young birds have browner upperparts.
