The Chinese thrush (Turdus mupinensis) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in China and far northern Vietnam. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
A recent molecular study places the Chinese thrush's closest relatives as the similarly plumaged European species, the song thrush (T. philomelos) and the mistle thrush (T. viscivorus), all three species early offshoots from the main Turdus radiation around the world.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Thrush sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 220th most-seen of the 324 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Thrush in Beijing on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Chinese Thrush sightings, Beijing ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kunming (China, under 5%), Hangzhou (China, under 5%) and Chengdu (China, under 5%).
Same genus: Turdus
The closest relatives of the Chinese Thrush that you can see in Beijing (genus Turdus, Typical Thrushes) are Chinese Blackbird (about 60%), Naumann's Thrush (about 20%) and Red-throated Thrush (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Beijing (47 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
