Japanese Thrush

The Japanese thrush, also called the grey thrush, is a migratory thrush that breeds in central China and Japan and winters in coastal southern China, including Hainan, and in northern Laos and Vietnam. It is an occasional passage migrant in Taiwan and a vagrant in Thailand. Birds breeding in China were once treated as the subspecies lateus, but the species is now treated as monotypic.

Males have a black head, breast, back, wings and tail with a white underside spotted black on the upper belly and flanks, and yellow legs, bill and eye-ring. Females are brown above with a white throat, breast and belly washed rusty orange on the flanks. It scratches through leaf litter for insects and earthworms and lays 2–5 eggs in a nest of twigs and moss bound with mud and lined with hair and rootlets. Incubation lasts 12–13 days and the nestling period 14 days, and it raises two broods a season. (Wikipedia, general species account)
