Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush
Catharus aurantiirostris (Hartlaub, 1850)
Turdidae — Thrushes
Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush, Catharus aurantiirostris, is a thrush of Middle America and northern South America, from north-west Mexico to northern Colombia and central Venezuela. It belongs to the family Turdidae and was first described by Hartlaub in 1850. Its range is broken into separate populations, with records also noted in Brazil and as a stray in the United States. It is a year-round resident in much of its range, though some birds in Mexico move downslope in winter and northern birds are thought to shift south at that season.
