Remiges (which mostly appear fresh) are dull brown (5Y 3/2), with the edges of outer primaries distinctly warmer-brown. Undersides of remiges are uniformly grey-brown (10YR 4/2). Rectrices are blackish-brown (2.5Y 2/2), slightly paler on underside. Throat dull brown (5Y 2/2) becoming slightly paler towards chin. Breast and upper belly slightly darker than throat (2.5Y 3/2), with cinnamon edging on most feathers (7.5YR 3/6), while the lower belly, flanks and vent are darker greyish-brown (2.5Y 2/1). Iris extremely dark brown with a prominent bright orange-yellow bare orbital ring. Bill and gape in life uniformly bright orange-yellow with no darker bill tip. In life, tarsi and toes (including toepads) are bright yellow, slightly less orange than bill and orbital ring; claws are cream-lemon, paler than toes.</paragraph>

On his premature descent, FER then spotted a hardy individual of the new thrush, perched in the pouring rain, leading him to change plans yet again and mount a subsequent second and eventually third expedition to these elevations in better weather. This latter third expedition then allowed for a more detailed documentation of Taliabus distinct novel montane avifauna (

The greatest variation occurs in the tone of the lower breast and abdomen, which is intermediate in the holotype but ranges from all-drab brownish grey throughout with almost no warm edging (in MZB.Ornit.34.416) to more extensive cinnamon feather edging (in most adult females, especially MZB.Ornit.34.409), the latter leading to an overall warmer underparts impression. Females are variably slightly less slaty on upperparts and crown, and one adult individual (MZB.Ornit.34.416) of unknown sex has a male-like slaty tone on upperparts but a female- like crown color that is more suffused with dull brown. Two juveniles (MZB.Ornit.34.410; MZB.Ornit.34.417) exhibit noticeable mottling on their mantle and underparts coloration, caused by dark brownish-black feather margins contrasting against the paler (on underparts sometimes warm cinnamon) feather centers.</paragraph>

<emphasis box="[679,727,1978,2007]" italics="true" pageId="66" pageNumber="67">13 5</emphasis>

<emphasis box="[832,880,201,229]" italics="true" pageId="67" pageNumber="68">13 6</emphasis>

<emphasis box="[408,456,348,377]" italics="true" pageId="67" pageNumber="68">13 7</emphasis>
). Hence, modern sources generally continue to unite all or most subspecies into one polytypic species. Not unlike some Philippine subspecies previously under study (
<emphasis box="[361,409,495,525]" italics="true" pageId="67" pageNumber="68">13 7</emphasis>
), the new subspecies from Taliabu is phenotypically extremely different from neighboring forms but more closely resembles certain geographically distant subspecies. It is presently best accommodated at the subspecies level. Comprehensive genomic and phenotypic inquiries are needed in the future to assess whether any internal species limits must be drawn within the complex. Such future analyses may well elevate the Taliabu Island Thrush to species level. However, such analyses are currently hampered by a lack of crucial comparative DNA material.
