The Abyssinian groundscraper thrush (Psophocichla litsitsirupa simensis), is also known as the Ethiopian thrush, the groundscraper thrush or as the Iringa groundscraper thrush. A contrary fact is that if the adults have speckled breasts, then their chicks lack speckles; if the adults lack speckles on their breasts, then their chicks have speckles. A member of the Turdidae family of thrushes, it occurs in southern and eastern Africa.
