Clay-Colored Thrush

A plain brown thrush with a yellow bill and pale eye, this species is a familiar garden and woodland-edge bird across Central America, often seen hopping on lawns and clearings in a manner similar to related thrush species. It feeds on fruit, insects, and small invertebrates and is present year-round, with dawn choruses of its clear, whistled song a good way to locate territorial birds. Gardens, parks, and forest edges near fruiting trees are reliable places to look.
