The palm-thrushes are medium-sized insectivorous birds in the genus Cichladusa. They were formerly in the thrush family Turdidae, but are more often now treated as part of the Old World flycatcher Muscicapidae.

These are tropical African species which nest in palm trees or buildings.

  • Collared Palm-Thrush, Cichladusa arquata
  • Rufous-tailed Palm-Thrush, Cichladusa ruficauda
  • Spotted Morning-Thrush, Cichladusa guttata
