Bower's shrikethrush (Colluricincla boweri), also known as the stripe-breasted shrike-thrush, is a species of bird in the family Pachycephalidae. It is endemic to Australia. It is found on the southeast coast of Cape York Peninsula.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Bower's shrikethrush was originally described in 1885 by Edward Pierson Ramsay, curator of the Australian Museum in Sydney. The specific name boweri honors Thomas Henry Bowyer-Bower, curator of ornithology at the Western Australian Museum at the time. The genus name Colluricincla comes from the Greek kollurion ("a bird") and the Latin cinclus ("thrush").

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bower's Shrike-Thrush sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 134th most-seen of the 208 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bower's Shrike-Thrush in Daintree National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bower's Shrike-Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bower's Shrike-Thrush sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Colluricincla
The closest relatives of the Bower's Shrike-Thrush that you can see in Daintree National Park (genus Colluricincla, Shrikethrushes) are Rufous Shrikethrush (about 30%) and Arafura Shrikethrush (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bower's Shrike-Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Daintree National Park (36 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
