As John Tongue replied, it was split from the Chestnut-breasted
Quail-thrush (note that Chestnut QT is now called Chestnut-backed QT).
It is found over a reasonably large area, but the stronghold for them
is from Mt Magnet north past Meekatharra along the Great Northern
Highway. I used to find them quite easily around Cue, but recently
while I have found them it has taken quite a while. Recent good
areas to see the bird have been just west of Mt Magnet on the road
towards Yalgoo. In the first 7kms. They have also been seen on
Kirkalocka Station where there is station stay accommodation.
