Turdus lherminieri (Forest Thrush)

Synonyms: Cichlherminia lherminieri; Turdus spec

Wikipedia Abstract

The forest thrush (Turdus lherminieri) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It was historically the sole species within the genus Cichlherminia, however the AOU reclassified the species to the genus Turdus in 2009. Two subspecies occur: the Montserrat race and the Dominica race, distinguished by the amount of scaling on the breast. The Dominica race has a white belly and scaled breast, the Montserrat race has scaling all the way from the breast through the upper belly. It is threatened by habitat loss.
