About the Creamy-bellied Thrush

The creamy-bellied thrush (Turdus amaurochalinus) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and as a vagrant to Chile and the Falkland Islands. The creamy-bellied thrush was originally described in 1851 with its current binomial Turdus amaurochalinus It is monotypic.

The creamy-bellied thrush is 22 to 25 cm (8.7 to 9.8 in) long and weighs 52 to 73 g (1.8 to 2.6 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly olive-brown head with black lores and a brown-streaked white throat. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are the same olive-brown as the head. Their breast and flanks are usually grayish buff that becomes creamy white on the belly and undertail coverts. (Some individuals have pure gray instead of grayish buff underparts.) They have a dark iris, a yellowish bill when breeding and a darker one otherwise, and drab brown legs and feet. Juveniles have dark brown upperparts with buff spots and streaks, mostly brown-mottled buff underparts, and a white chin and belly.
