The White's Thrush (Zoothera aurea) is a split from the smaller, darker Scaly Thrush (Zoothera dauma). The habits of the White's Thrush is described as "somewhat secretive and solitary on the ground or in the understory" (Kennedy, et al - Field Guide to the Birds of the Philippines) and "very shy, often flushed from ground (sic)" (Robson - Field Guide to the Birds of Southeast Asia). It was therefore a surprise that we found it feeding on the red fruits high up on a MacArthur palm tree.
