Description
This is a large and distinctive thrush. The male has black from the chin to the breast with a greyish black tail. The upperparts are grey and the underparts are whitish with orange-red underwing coverts. Females and immatures are similar but the black on the throat and breast is replaced with dusky streaking.

Feeding Habits
Black-throated Thrush predominantly consumes insects, earthworms, snails, and berries, with a winter diet rich in rosehips, juniper berries, and sea buckthorn. Unique dietary habits include feeding on nectar from rhododendron flowers. Foraging occurs on the ground and in bushes, sometimes at stream margins, with gregarious behavior in non-breeding seasons.
Habitat
The black-throated Thrush typically inhabits the edges of clearings in coniferous or mixed deciduous forests, thriving in the undergrowth near watercourses or swampy areas. Broadly, its breeding habitat encompasses regions with coniferous forests, river and stream edges, glades, and a range of woodland including larch clumps, willow scrub, poplar and birch groves. It can also be found breeding up to 2200 meters elevation, occasionally moving to subalpine woodland post-breeding. In wintering grounds, black-throated Thrush prefers grassy, scrubby hillsides, forest edges, and man-altered landscapes like fields, gardens, and orchards, ranging from lowlands up to 4200 meters in elevation.
Dite type
