The orange-headed thrush is common in well-wooded areas of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and most populations are resident. It prefers shady, damp places and can be quite secretive. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and fruit, nests in trees and does not form flocks. The male has uniform grey upperparts and an orange head and underparts, and females and young are browner above (Wikipedia, general species account).
There are about 12 subspecies, and the complex may include more than one species.
