Black-billed Nightingale-Thrush (Catharus gracilirostris)
About the Black-billed Nightingale-Thrush
The black-billed nightingale-thrush (Catharus gracilirostris) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae, the thrushes and allies. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The black-billed nightingale-thrush was originally described in 1865 with its current binomial Catharus gracilirostris. The black-billed nightingale's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it three subspecies: the nominate C. g. gracilirostris (Salvin, 1865), C. g. accentor (Bangs, 1902), and C. g. bensoni (Griscom, 1924). The Clements taxonomy recognizes two by including bensoni within accentor. This article follows the three-subspecies model.
