O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, Queensland - Little Shrike-thrush? (2 Viewers)

[Mark Eising]

During my visit to O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat in November 2022, I saw this bird on a balcony. It looks very much like Little Shrike-thrush but the colour of the bill seems not black as should be. To me it has a very thrush-like appearance. Please also note the streaks on its chest. Who can advise?

Certainly Grey Shrike-thrush, immature or female. I'm no expert at telling the two apart.

I saw Grey Shrike-thrush there and this one looks very like it and the pictures in my book.

Excellent! I fully agree! Thank you all very much!
