Seram Thrush Zoothera joiceyi   - Female
Seram Thrush
Photographer : © Pierre-Henri Fabre
Location :caught at 1600m on Gunung Binaiya, Seram, Indonesia
Date : 15 February 2012
English synonyms:Ceram Thrush, Moluccan Thrush
Bird Family :Turdinae - Thrushes, Blackbirds & Shortwings
Bird Group :PASSERIFORMES
Red Data Status :Near Threatened
Remarks :Note the lack of an eye-ring, the scaled pattern created by the white-edged black feathers of the sides and flanks, the all-black ear coverts, and the graduation in colour from the rufous-brown crown to the sooty olive-brown mantle, all of which distinguish this species from Buru Thrush Zoothera dumasi. This individual is moulting its white-tipped median wing coverts, so the single wing-bar pattern formed by these is somewhat obscured.
