The grey-sided thrush is a medium-sized, warm-brown thrush with a white eyebrow and a crescent below the eye. The male has rufescent-olive upperparts, including the crown and ear coverts, and grey underparts becoming paler on the belly and vent (Wikipedia, general species account).
It forages for insects and berries on the ground or less commonly in trees, often in the company of the eyebrowed thrush, and is also thought to feed on nectar from the flowers of the shingle tree (Wikipedia, general species account).
