Blacksmith Thrush (Turdus subalaris)
About the Blacksmith Thrush
The blacksmith thrush or eastern slaty thrush (Turdus subalaris) is a passerine bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The blacksmith thrush was originally described as Merula subalaris. It was long considered as a subspecies of what is now the Andean slaty thrush (Turdus nigriceps) with the combination called the "slaty thrush". Following studies published in the early 2000s that showed they were not close relatives, taxonomic systems separated them. The blacksmith thrush is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 99 recordings for this species: 9 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
