long-tailed thrush
Zoothera dixoni
The long-tailed thrush is a medium-sized bird from the thrush family. It lives in the mountain forests of Asia, spends a lot of time on the ground, and is distinguished by its very long tail.
The long-tailed ground thrush differs from other thrushes by its longer tail and habit of living on the ground in mountains. It helps the forest by eating harmful insects and dispersing plant seeds.
