Observation details
Played the tape the entire time with no success. Then as we were leaving one last blast at the highest point on the road and magic! Called back by the crazy. Lured it out into the open from the roadside and got magnificent photos. Really lovely whistled call that staid with us long after we left. Assume there were none in our main area because the call carried on an admirable distance. Lovely brown, grey tones, slightly decurved bill and long legs. Make it a bit of a cross between a thrush and an ant-pitta. Really fortunate to find this rare and poorly known species.
