Asian thrush:
The Asian thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the genus Zoothera of the thrush family Turdidae.
Two New World species traditionally regarded as Zoothera; (varied thrush and Aztec thrush) actually belong elsewhere in the thrush family. A group containing Siberian thrush and the African species is not closely related to the other Zoothera and are now assigned to the genus Geokichla.

African ground thrush:
African ground thrushes are a number of species of thrush in the genus Zoothera. They are now thought to be a group less closely related to the Asian members of the genus. They are forest-dwelling, foraging near the ground, and the sexes are alike.[1]
