Sooty Robin

Turdus nigrescens

The Sooty Robin (Turdus nigrescens) is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is known for its dark plumage, with a blackish-brown coloration on the upperparts and a lighter grayish-brown on the underparts. This species is often found in dense undergrowth and forest edges, where it forages for insects, small fruits, and berries. The Sooty Robin is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate and defend its territory. While its population is currently stable, it faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
