Catharus Dryas 2
The genus ''Catharus'' is an evolutionary clade of forest-dwelling passerine birds in the family Turdidae (thrushes), commonly known as nightingale-thrushes. The extant species are widely distributed across the Americas and are descended from a common ancestor that lived 4–6 million years ago. Most of the species are shy of humans, seldom leaving the cover of dense forest vegetation, where their activities are hidden from view. Thus, many fundamental aspects of their biology and life histories are poorly known. Nightingale-thrushes are small omnivorous songbirds that, like their sister species the wood thrush (''Hylocichla mustelina''), exhibit a variety of migratory and non-migratory habits.Winker, Kevin & Pruett, Christin L.

Orange-billed Nightingale-thrush
The orange-billed nightingale-thrush (''Catharus aurantiirostris'') is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and heavily degraded former forest. Measuring long, this nightingale-thrush has a bright orange bill, eye ring, and legs. Northern birds have a brown back and cap, and a whitish chest and belly. Southern birds have a distinctive grey crown and darker chest and flanks. It is fairly common within its range. It forages on the ground for insects and fruit. The song is a less musical than other thrushes. It consists of a nasal, slurred ''whaaaaa''.

Speckled Nightingale-thrush
The speckled nightingale-thrush or Sclater's nightingale-thrush (''Catharus maculatus'') is a species of bird in the thrush family Turdidae native to South America. Taxonomy The speckled nightingale-thrush was first described in 1858 by Philip Sclater as ''Malacocichla maculatus''. In 1879 it was subsumed as a subspecies of the spotted nightingale-thrush, as ''Cantharus dryas maculatus''. In 2017, it was argued based on phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA, morphometric and vocal data analyses, and modeling of ecological niches, that it should again be considered a separate species. The former "spotted nightingale-thrush" (''Catharus dryas sensu lato'') was split into the speckled nightingale-thrush (''C. maculatus'') and the yellow-throated nightingale-thrush The yellow-throated nightingale-thrush or Gould's nightingale-thrush (''Catharus dryas'') is a species of bird in the family Turdidae native to Central America.

Yellow-throated Nightingale-thrush
The yellow-throated nightingale-thrush or Gould's nightingale-thrush (''Catharus dryas'') is a species of bird in the family Turdidae native to Central America. It was first described in 1855 by English ornithologist John Gould. Taxonomy and systematics In 1878, the Sclater's nightingale-thrush (''Catharus maculatus'') was categorized as a subspecies of ''Catharus dryas'' based on the similar plumage. In 2017, a study showed that ''Catharus maculatus'' was not a subspecies of ''Catharus dryas'', but a separate species of Spotted nightingale-thrush. The publication cited DNA sequencing, vocal data, and modeling of ecological niches as evidence that the two organisms were, in fact, different species. Subspecies Three subspecies are recognised: * ''C. d. harrisoni'' - Phillips, AR & Rook, 1965: Found in Oaxaca (south-western Mexico) * ''C. d. ovandensis'' - Brodkorb, 1938: Found in Chiapas (south-western Mexico) * ''C. d. dryas'' - (Gould, 1855): Found in western Guatemala, El ...
