The Abyssinian thrush or African mountain thrush (Turdus abyssinicus) is a passerine bird in the family Turdidae. It has recently been split from the olive thrush (Turdus olivaceus) on genetic differences. Their ranges do not overlap. The southern and northern populations may be distinct species. The Abyssinian thrush is found in Eritrea and other parts of the Horn of Africa, as well as an area to the southeast extending from the African Great Lakes region to Mozambique. The bird is found in forests, suburban parks and gardens and plantations.
