The Chiguanco Thrush is distributed from Ecuador through Peru to
western Bolivia, northern Chile and west-central Argentina. It is found
in agricultural areas, gardens and light woodland mostly from 1500 metres to 4000 metres but it can be found at sea level in Chile and Peru.

The nominate race, shown here in photo 1, is
browny-grey with yellowish bill and legs and no visible eye-ring. The
sub-species T. c. anthracinus from the Antofagasta area (a male
is seen here in photo 2) is nearly black with an orange-yellow bill and legs and a
narrow yellow ring around the eye. It is possibly a separate
species. |

There are recordings and a distribution map on xeno-canto. |
