ID tip

The unicolored thrush is 23 to 24 cm (9.1 to 9.4 in) long and weighs about 84 g (3.0 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have an olive-brown head, upperparts, wings, and tail. Their chin and throat are whitish with dark streaks. Their underparts are a slightly paler olive-brown than their upperparts. They have a dark iris, a brownish yellow bill, and brown legs and feet. Voice: The unicolored thrush appears to be mostly silent in the dry season except perhaps at dawn and dusk, but responds readily to playback. It makes a "mewing" call that is similar to those of the other members of the T. nudigenis complex. Its song is "a series of whistled phrases, similar to that of T. hauxwelli", which see here.
