Hello - From April 19 to 22 in a backyard in Port Angeles,WA a Varied thrush with no expression of its typical orange coloration, but normal black pigmentation was found and photographed.  The bird was not promptly reported due to homeowners not wishing to have its location announced  I have read that this variation is called schizochroistic.  I am curious to hear of others experience with such color variation either in Varied thrushes or other species.  Photographs of the bird can be seen at eBird Checklist - 22 Apr 2022 - Clallam - 1 species.  Richard Klawitter, Port Angeles.
