Maranon Thrush

The Maranon thrush is 21.5 to 23 cm (8.5 to 9.1 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly rich brown head with a brown-streaked whitish throat. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are the same rich brown as the head. Their underparts are dull white with a brown scaly and spotted pattern on their breast and flanks. They have a dark iris, a grayish bill, and grayish legs and feet. Juveniles resemble adults with orange-buff spots and streaks on the upperparts and two spotted orange wing bars. Voice: The Maranon thrush's song is "a slow caroling similar to that of other Turdus, particularly Black-billed Thrush, but does not seem to repeat phrases as does Black-billed". Its calls are "a rising rzeet rzeet, a ringing tseet, and a mello wurk".
