The chestnut thrush (Turdus rubrocanus) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It breeds in the western Himalayas and central/southwestern China; it winters in Eastern Himalaya and northern Southeast Asia. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.
It is socially monogamous, but extra-pair partners are common. It exhibits sexual dichromatism, a form of sexual dimorphism in which males and females have different plumage colors. However, this difference is typically not noticeable to human observers.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut Thrush sighting in Srinagar on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 101st most-seen of the 120 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut Thrush in Srinagar on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chestnut Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Chestnut Thrush sightings, Srinagar ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Lanzhou (China, about 50%) and Xining (China, about 50%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chestnut Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Srinagar (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.
