Naumann's thrush is a member of the thrush family that breeds eastwards from central Siberia to North Manchuria, Amurland and Sakhalin. It is closely related to the more northerly breeding dusky thrush, and the two have often been regarded as conspecific. It has a pale brown back and head, with reddish face, breast, flank spots and rump, and a white belly and undertail (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, especially mosquitoes, earthworms and berries, and breeds in open woodland. It is strongly migratory, wintering from South to Southeast Asia, principally in China, Korea and neighbouring countries, with migrating and wintering birds often in small flocks. It nests in trees, laying three to five eggs. The account opened does not name Bhutan.
