About

The Ethiopian thrush is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found primarily in Ethiopia, and also locally in Eritrea. It is a medium-sized thrush 20–22 cm long, with a brown back, two vertical dark brown bars on the face, a spotted breast and belly, and an unusually short tail. Compared to the closely related groundscraper thrush from further south in Africa, it is browner, less grey-coloured above, and has a less marked face pattern.
