The Orange-headed Thrush (Zoothera citrina) is a bird in the thrush
family.
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.
The Orange-headed Thrush is omnivorous, eating a wide range of
insects, earthworms and fruit. It nests in trees but does not form
flocks.
The male of this small thrush has uniform grey upperparts, and an
orange head and under parts. The females and young birds have browner
upper parts. |
