Somali Thrush © dibird.com

Turdus olivaceus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Taita Thrush (Turdus helleri) on the basis of its highly distinct plumage pattern, and reportedly different voice (following Collar and Stuart 1985), Somali Thrush (Turdus ludoviciae) on the basis of its extremely distinct plumage pattern following Collar et al. (1994) and Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus) (with species limits accordingly revised).

Evidently close to Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus) and commonly treated as conspecific.
