| 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. |
