Description
The Maranon thrush is 21.5 to 23 cm (8.5 to 9.1 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly rich brown head with a brown-streaked whitish throat. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are the same rich brown as the head. Their underparts are dull white with a brown scaly and spotted pattern on their breast and flanks. They have a dark iris, a grayish bill, and grayish legs and feet. Juveniles resemble adults with orange-buff spots and streaks on the upperparts and two spotted orange wing bars.
Range & habitat
The Maranon thrush is found in the upper and middle basins of the Marañón River from extreme southern Ecuador into northern Peru to Huánuco Department. It primarily inhabits rather dry landscapes including dry forest and secondary forest, riparian forest, scrublands, and gardens. It also occurs at the edges of more humid forest and woodland. In elevation it ranges between 650 and 1,600 m (2,100 and 5,200 ft) in Ecuador and between 400 and 2,000 m (1,300 and 6,600 ft) in Peru.
