The dusky thrush is about 25 centimetres long and weighs 55–106 grams. The upperparts, including the tail feathers, are dark brown, and the rusty-red wing coverts give the bird its name. The face and throat are whitish with black cheeks and lores, and the underparts are cream with a brownish scaly pattern. (German Wikipedia, general species account)
Sexual dimorphism is slight: in females the rust colour of the wings is greatly reduced or absent altogether. Dusky thrushes breed from northern and central Siberia to Kamchatka. Their preferred habitats are steppe and scrub landscapes and open woodland. No subspecies are recognised. (German Wikipedia, general species account)
