Hi All, I saw Kevin Bartram’s photo of the new quail – thrush split and am wondering if anyone has more information about it.

I have noticed your post with a photo on the Aust Twitchers Facebook page and am wondering what this new split is about. Which quail-thrush has it been split from? Does this mean that with the Western Quail-thrush that we now have 6 different species? > All the best, > Patrick
