[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Orange-headed Thrush (Zoothera citrina) is a bird in the thrush family.

It is common in well-wooded areas of India, China and southeast Asia. Most populations are resident. The species shows a preference for shady damp areas, and like many Zoothera thrushes, can be quite secretive.

The Orange-headed Thrush is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and fruit. It nests in trees but does not form flocks.

The male of this small thrush has uniform grey upperparts, and an orange head and underparts. The females and young birds have browner upper parts.

When I photographed this bird it was raining and I was trying to juggle my umbrella and the camera. This is the bast I could come up with....
