The grey-sided thrush is a medium-sized, warm-brown thrush with a white supercilium and a white crescent below the eye. The male has rufescent-olive upperparts and grey underparts paler on the belly and vent; the female has a white throat, a whiter centre to the breast and belly, and some dark spots or streaks on the sides of the throat and upper breast.

It is migratory, breeding in the mountains of north-east China and wintering in subtropical or tropical moist montane forest in India and Indochina. It forages for insects and berries on the ground and less often in trees, often alongside the eyebrowed thrush, and is thought also to feed on nectar from shingle tree flowers.
