Black Thrush (Turdus infuscatus)
About the Black Thrush
The black thrush (Turdus infuscatus) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae, the thrushes and allies. It is found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. It was formerly known as the black robin. The black thrush was originally described in 1844 as Merula infuscata. It was later reassigned to its present genus Turdus that had been erected in 1758. For a time it and the glossy-black thrush (T. serranus) were treated as conspecific but molecular studies determined that they are separate species and not closely related. The black thrush's closest relative is the sooty thrush (T. nigrescens). The black thrush is monotypic.
