Turdus murinus Salvin, 1885
Turdidae — Thrushes
Pantepui Thrush, Turdus murinus, is a thrush of the foothills of southern Venezuela and Guyana, with its breeding range also reaching extreme northern Brazil. It was first described by Salvin in 1885. The bird is linked to the lower slopes of tepui country, including places such as Mount Roraima and the Merumé Mountains. It is associated with the margins of humid forest and with younger regenerating areas. The species is treated as monotypic and has had a shifting taxonomic history, having been placed with the black-billed thrush before being recognised again as a full species.
