Myophonus castaneus

The Brown-winged Whistling Thrush , also known as the Sumatran Whistling Thrush or Chestnut-winged Whistling Thrush, is a passerine bird belonging to the whistling thrush genus Myophonus in the thrush family Turdidae. It is endemic to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. In the past, it has often been lumped together with the Javan Whistling Thrush and Bornean Whistling Thrush as the Sunda Whistling Thrush but it is now often regarded as a separate species based on differences in plumage and measurements.

The Myophonus castaneus is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.
