Synonyms: Turdus nudigenis

Wikipedia Abstract

The Ecuadorian thrush (Turdus maculirostris) is a resident bird found in western South America in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the spectacled thrush (yellow-eyed thrush), Turdus nudigenis, but has a narrower eyering, and is widely separated in range. The habitat of this thrush is woodland, and forest edges and clearings, up to 2000 metres.
