The Karoo Thrush (Turdus smithi) is a member of the thrush family in Africa. It was formerly considered as subspecies of the Olive Thrush. The medium sized bird reaches a length of about 24 cm. It has a wing length between 117 and 131 mm, a culmen length between 20 and 24 mm and a tarsus length between 30,0 and 34,5 mm. It can reach a mass of at least 86 g. It differs from the Olive Thrush by its longer bill and its longer wings. The buff orange flanks are tinged brownish and it has an entire orange bill. It occurs in South Africa (Little Namaqualand, Karoo and Northern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and part of the North West Province).
