Dukiiun Rock Thrush. 



Petrocincla Pandoo, Sykes, Proc. Comm. Sci. & Corr. Zool. Soc. p. 87, 1832. 



According to Colonel Sykes, this bird differs from the Solitary Thrush of Europe (Turdus 

 cyaneus, Linn.) in its smaller size, slighter form, brighter caerulean tint, and in the want of orange 

 eyelids and white tips to the feathers. It is only found in the dense woods of the Ghauts. The 

 flight is low and rapid. It appears to correspond with Var. A. of Dr. Latham's Solitary Thrush, 

 vol. v. p. 47. The drawing is made from a specimen in Colonel Sykes' collection. 



Habitat, Dukhun. 



The general colour of this bird is brownish-blue ; the wing and tail feathers brownish ; irides, 

 brown.
