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 Chengdu on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 129th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Thrush in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Chinese Thrush sightings, Chengdu ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kunming (China, under 5%) and Hangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same genus: Turdus
The closest relatives of the Chinese Thrush that you can see in Chengdu (genus Turdus, Typical Thrushes) are Chinese Blackbird (about 80%), Naumann's Thrush (about 10%) and Dusky 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 Chengdu (10 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.
