A quail-thrush is a bird of the genus ''Cinclosoma'', which contains seven species. Quail-thrushes are in a different family from either quails or thrushes, but bear some superficial resemblance to them. The genus is found in Australia and New Guinea in a variety of habitats ranging from rainforest to deserts. The genus is closely related to the jewel-babblers of New Guinea. Seven species were recognised in 2007. A molecular study published in 2015 by Gaynor Dolman and Leo Joseph resulted in the splitting of the chestnut-backed quail-thrush into the chestnut quail-thrush of eastern Australia and the copperback quail-thrush in the west. ==Species== * Genus ''Cinclosoma'' * * Painted quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma ajax'' * * Spotted quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma punctatum'' * * Copperback quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma clarum'' * * Chestnut quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma castanotum'' * * Chestnut-breasted quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma castaneothorax'' * * Western quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma marginatum'' * * Nullarbor quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma alisteri'' * * Cinnamon quail-thrush, ''Cinclosoma cinnamomeum'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quail-thrush」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
