St. Vincent Wren

Troglodytes musicus (Lawrence, 1878)

Troglodytidae — Wrens

St. Vincent Wren, Troglodytes musicus, is a passerine in the wren family that breeds on St. Vincent in the Lesser Antilles. It is endemic to the island and occurs from montane evergreen forest and brushy woodland to farmland and built-up areas. The species was first described in 1878 by Lawrence. It was once treated as part of the house wren, but is now recognised as distinct. Its name reflects a link with sheltering in crevices, and the species is monotypic with no subspecies.
