Bassian Thrush
Zoothera lunulata
The Bassian Thrush is often difficult to see, as it is an unobtrusive species that forages among dense vegetation. When foraging, it often stands still before dashing forward and then vigorously jabbing its bill into the ground to seize a worm or other invertebrate. When disturbed, it sometimes crouches on the ground and freezes, relying on its cryptic plumage to conceal its presence. However, the species is easily flushed, when it flies from the ground up to a nearby low perch, or off through the trees and shrubs. The Bassian Thrush is a secretive bird. Its plumage is mottled brown to olive-brown, heavily scalloped with black crescent-shaped bars on the back, rump and head. The paler underparts all have brown-black scalloping. It has a white eye-ring. In flight the Bassian Thrush shows a broad dark diagonal bar across the white underside of its wing. This species has also been referred to as White's Thrush, Ground Thrush, and Scaly Thrush.
