Red-throated Thrush

The red-throated thrush is a passerine of the thrush family, sometimes regarded as one subspecies of a polytypic dark-throated thrush, with the black-throated thrush the other; more recent treatments regard the two as separate species. It is a large thrush with a plain grey back and reddish underwings. The adult male has a red throat, while females and young lack the bib but have black-streaked underparts. It breeds in East Siberia to North Manchuria, wintering to West China, Myanmar and north-east India, and its range overlaps with the more westerly-breeding black-throated thrush; it is a very rare vagrant to western Europe (Wikipedia, general species account).
