Description
The chestnut-bellied thrush grows to a length of about 25 cm (10 in). The adult male has a black head, a black throat with some white streaking, a dark grey back and dusky wings and tail. The upper breast is pale grey and the lower breast and belly are rufous. The beak is yellow, the narrow eye ring is orange and the legs are dull yellow. The female is similar in appearance but rather duller. It is the only thrush in the genus Turdus with a rufous belly to be found in the northern Andes. The song is not often uttered, but consists of a series of disjointed phrases with some buzzes and short trills in between.

Feeding Habits
Chestnut-bellied Thrush primarily consumes fruit, especially berries. It forages in trees and sometimes amid leaf litter on the ground in semi-open areas. Distinct for rarely sharing fruiting trees with other species, chestnut-bellied Thrush exhibits solitary feeding behaviors.
Habitat
The chestnut-bellied Thrush predominantly inhabits humid subtropical montane forests including diverse ecosystems such as stunted mossy cloud forests with an abundance of ericaceous plants, forest edges, and tall secondary growths. These birds are also common in shrubby areas disturbed by human activity, often on steep hillsides, and utilize adjacent clearings and roadsides in their home range.

Distribution Area
The chestnut-bellied thrush is native to northwestern South America. Its range includes western Venezuela, western Colombia, Ecuador, northern Peru and northwestern Bolivia. Its habitat is woodland and the canopy and edges of montane forests at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,600 m (4,600 and 8,500 ft).
Species Status
The chestnut-bellied thrush is described as an uncommon species and the population is thought to be declining slowly as the bird's woodland habitat is degraded. However, it has a very large range and presumably a large total population, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
