Also known as the American Mountain Thrush, or Mountain Robin, the Mountain Thrush is a dull-colored Turdus in which the sexes are more or less identically plumaged. Adults are very dark olive brown virtually throughout, although the wings and tail are generally the darker than the body, with a slightly paler throat that appears vaguely streaked.
