The White-necked Thrush (Turdus albicollis) is a songbird found in forest and woodland in South America. The taxonomy is potentially confusing, and it sometimes includes the members of the T. assimilis group as subspecies, in which case the "combined species" is referred to as the White-throated Thrush (a name limited to T. assimilis when the two are split). On the contrary, it may be split into two species, the Rufous-flanked Thrush (T. albicollis) and the Grey-flanked Thrush (T. phaeopygos).

Famous quotes containing the word thrush:
“Sitting in that dusky wilderness, under that dark mountain, by the bright river which was full of reflected light, still I heard the wood thrush sing, as if no higher civilization could be attained. By this time the night was upon us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
