The blue-whistling thrush is found in the mountains of central, south and southeast Asia and China. I saw one near the Diphlu Lodge near Kaziranga NP in Assam, India.

Range of the blue-whistling thrush from Birds of the World. |
It is dark violet blue with "shiny spangling on the tips of the body feathers other than the lores, abdomen and under the tail." The wing coverts are a different shade of blue and there are white spots on the tips of the median coverts. The tail feathers are black. Both sexes look similar.
