Chestnut-backed Thrush (Geokichla dohertyi)
About the Chestnut-backed Thrush
The chestnut-backed thrush (Geokichla dohertyi) is a ground thrush species endemic to Lombok, Timor and the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. The species is rapidly declining and it is already extinct on Lombok and possibly on Lesser Sunda. A European species, the fieldfare, was once also known by this name [1]. The binomial name of this bird commemorates the American entomologist William Doherty.
