French: Cinclosome cannelle
German: Zimtflöter
Spanish: Zordala Canela
Other common names: Black-breasted Quail-thrush/Ground-bird/Ground-thrush; Nullarbor Quail-thrush (alisteri)
Taxonomy: Cinclosoma cinnamomeus Gould, 1846, north-western New South Wales, Australia.
Race alisteri often regarded as a separate species, and in the past was sometimes treated as a race of C. castaneothorax; conversely, race marginatum of latter has sometimes been included within present species. Otherwise, race tirariense doubtfully separable from nominate, the two intergrading in a broad zone; described race samueli (from South Australia) regarded as inseparable from nominate. Three subspecies currently recognized.
