The Nullarbor Quail-thrush is a ground-dwelling bird of southern Australia’s Nullarbor Plain. It walks slowly while foraging in low vegetation around limestone outcrops.
Males have reddish-cinnamon upperparts, a black face and breast, a white eyebrow and white throat streaks, with white tips on the outer tail feathers. Females are duller, with a grey-brown face, white eyebrow and throat, and a pale grey breast without black.
It uses low vegetation associated with limestone outcrops on the Nullarbor Plain. It forages on the ground, feeding on seeds, insects and spiders.
