Black-throated Thrush

The black-throated thrush is a large, distinctive thrush. The male has black from the chin to the breast, a greyish-black tail, grey upperparts and whitish underparts with orange-red underwing coverts. Females and immatures are similar, but the black on the throat and breast is replaced by dusky streaking. It is sometimes treated as one subspecies of a single dark-throated thrush with the red-throated thrush, but recent treatments regard the two as separate species whose ranges overlap.

A migratory bird of the Eastern Palearctic, it breeds along the edges of clearings in coniferous or mixed deciduous forest, often in the undergrowth of Siberian pine or mixed spruce-fir forest, especially along watercourses or in swampy areas. It breeds solitarily or in loose aggregations of pairs from late May to late July, with a grass-and-twig nest bound with earth, usually 1.5–2 metres up. In winter it is often found in large flocks with other thrushes, and its behaviour is similar to the fieldfare's. (Wikipedia, general species account)
