what is it?

The dusky thrush ( Turdus eunomus ) is a member of the thrush family which breeds eastwards from central Siberia. It is closely related to the more southerly breeding Naumann's thrush T. naumanni ; the two have often been regarded as conspecific. The scientific name comes from Latin Turdus , "thrush" and Ancient Greek eunomos , "orderly".
