pale-breasted thrush

taken after a heavy rain shower. Lots of red mud on the bird (and on my shoes).

Not Colombia's most colourful bird but handsome none the less! This is the ssp albiventer

Pale-breasted Thrush

Very melodious.

This bird kept hiding among the vegetation thinking I would not see it. Well... lucky me. He gave me plenty of good views. One of its local names is "sabi-de-cabea-cinza" which means Grey-headed Thrush. You can see why it's got its name. Taken near Araatuba, So Paulo, Brazil.

Sabia do Barranco

One of the first arrivals at my new feeder...

Its grey head and nape contrast with its brown upperparts and rufous-tinged wings. The throat is white with dark streaks while the breast and flanks are grey-brown. The bill is olive-yellowish while the axillaries and underwing coverts are cinnamon
