Campina Thrush

The campina thrush is 21.5 to 24 cm (8.5 to 9.4 in) long and weighs 50 to 66 g (1.8 to 2.3 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly dark grayish brown head with a dusky-streaked white throat. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are dark grayish brown. Their underparts are mostly dull gray that becomes dirty white on the lower belly and undertail coverts. They have a dark iris, a dusky black bill, and dusky black legs and feet. Juveniles are similar to adults but with buff spots and streaks on their upperparts, spotted buff wing bars, and brown mottling on their underparts.

The campina thrush has a highly disjunct distribution. It is found in extreme eastern Colombia and across southern Venezuela and Guyana into Suriname. It is also found in many widely scattered locations throughout Amazonian Brazil. The South American Classification Committee has at least one documented record in Bolivia, a location not mentioned in other sources. In Venezuela it is primarily found on Cerro Duida and Cerro Yapacana. In general it inhabits a variety of semi-open to open landscapes including light woodlands, mature secondary forest, disturbed areas, parks, and gardens. In all areas, and especially in Amazonia, it favors campina, a biome characterized by scanty vegetation on sandy soil.

The campina thrush's diet and feeding behavior have not been studied. but are assumed to be similar to those of the black-billed thrush, which see here. It is known to feed on fruit in trees and bushes and also to feed on the ground.
