Geokichla citrina Bird's chirp

★ The orange-headed thrush (Geokichla citrina) is a bird in the thrush family.

★ It 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, and like many Zoothera thrushes, can be quite secretive.

★ The orange-headed thrush is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and fruit. It nests in trees but does not form flocks.

★ The male of this small thrush has uniform grey upperparts, and an orange head and underparts. The females and young birds have browner upper parts.

★ The Geokichla thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the thrush family, Turdidae. They were traditionally listed in the Zoothera, but studies suggested their placement in another genus.
