Andean Slaty Thrush

Turdus nigriceps

The Andean slaty thrush, known scientifically as Turdus nigriceps, is a distinguished member of the Turdidae family. This avian species, once thought to be conspecific with the blacksmith thrush, now stands as a unique entity within the genus Turdus.

Identification Tips

Observers should note the bird's slate-colored plumage, which gives rise to its common name. The Andean slaty thrush possesses a robust body typical of the thrush family, with a keen eye for detail revealing subtle variations in its grey tones.

Habitat

The Andean slaty thrush is an inhabitant of a variety of forested environments. It thrives in temperate forests, as well as in subtropical or tropical moist lowland and montane forests. This bird is also known to occupy areas of heavily degraded former forest, demonstrating a degree of adaptability.

Distribution

This species graces the landscapes of north-west Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru with its presence, traversing a range of altitudes within these South American countries.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Andean slaty thrush as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species does not face immediate threats to its survival. However, continuous monitoring is essential to ensure its ongoing prosperity.
