Palm thrush
The palm thrushes are medium-sized insectivorous birds in the genus Cichladusa. They were formerly in the thrush family Turdidae, but are now treated as part of the Old [World flycatcher] Muscicapidae.
These are tropical African species which nest in palm trees or buildings.
The genus includes the following species:
- Collared palm thrush, Cichladusa arquata
- Rufous-tailed palm thrush, Cichladusa ruficauda
- Spotted palm thrush, ''Cichladusa guttata''
