The Black-throated Thrush (Turdus atrogularis) is a passerine bird in the thrush family. It is sometimes regarded as one subspecies of a polytypic species, "Dark-throated Thrush", Red-throated Thrush then being the other subspecies.[1] More recent treatments regard the two as separate species.[2]
The Black-throated Thrush is a migratory Asian species. Its range overlaps with the more easterly-breeding Red-throated Thrush. It is a large thrush with a plain grey back and reddish underwings. The adult male has a black throat. Females and young birds lack the bib, but have black-streaked underparts.[1]
