- Rhodinocichla rosea
Identification
20 cm.
Male is dark grey on upperside with most of underside rosy. Supercilium is rosy in front of eye, white behind it. Flanks sooty to grey.
Female similar but with rosy replaced by orange-buff, cinnamon, or ochraceous depending on subspecies.
Variation
Supercilium is pale rosy in Mexico and almost absent in birds from Sierra de Perijá (Colombia/Venezuela)
Distribution
Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela (absent between Mexico and Costa Rica).
Taxonomy
Five subspecies are recognized1:
- R. r. schistacea
- R. r. eximia
- R. r. harberti
- R. r. beebei
- R. r. rosea
All five subspecies seems to be isolated from the others, the greatest distance being for schistacea from Mexico to eximia in south-west Costa Rica.
Habitat
Undergrowth of forests, varying between dry thorn forest in Mexico and humid second growth in Costa Rica; in between habitats used further south. In all locations at relatively low elevations (up to 1500 m asl).
Behaviour
Skulking. Groundliving bird likely to be heard shuffling leaf-litter around; frequently, both members of a pair will be close to each other. Will fly up on branches if feeling threatened, and will also sing from a low branch. Does not follow mixed flocks.
Song is loud and melodious, but even the singing bird is difficult to see.
