Orange-headed Thrush Is a Secretive Bird

 The orange-headed thrush (Geokichla citrina) is common in well-wooded areas of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Most populations are resident. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas. Orange-headed thrush is very secretive. The male of this thrush has uniform grey upperparts, and an orange head and underparts. The females and young birds have browner upper parts. I spotted them in northern Kerala.
