About Cinclosoma cinnamomeum Gould, 1846
Cinnamon quail-thrush (Cinclosoma cinnamomeum Gould, 1846) reach a full-grown body length of 20 cm (7.9 in) and weigh up to 50 grams (1.8 oz). Male individuals have distinct markings: a white eyebrow, black face, and a broad white streak running down the sides of a black throat. Their upper body is plain cinnamon-rufous, with buff-white patches on the upper breast and a broad black band below these patches. Their outer tail feathers are black with white tips. Females share similar overall features but have duller coloration, with a buff-white throat and eyebrow, grey upper breast, and no black markings on the underside. Juveniles share the general pattern of adult markings, though juvenile males may have an indistinct breast band. This species produces high-pitched, slightly hissing calls. The cinnamon quail-thrush is endemic to Australia, where it inhabits arid and semi-arid regions of central Australia. Most of these regions receive less than 500 mm (20 in) of rainfall per year, and support desert vegetation and landforms. The species' total estimated distribution covers 831,000 km2 (321,000 sq mi), spanning southwest Queensland, northwest New South Wales, northeastern South Australia, and the southeast of the Northern Territory. Within this range, cinnamon quail-thrush have been recorded in grasslands and shrublands, but are most commonly found in dry stony areas, particularly around dry creek lines.
