Turdus migratorius  AMERICAN ROBIN.  Forest, edge, open woods, pastures, towns, savanna, farms.

T. m. migratorius includes several subspecies.  The pale race confinus of southern Baja California sometimes is treated as a separate species, and this may be correct because it differs morphologically and is isolated from other races by desert and water barriers.

Chlamydochaera jefferyi  BLACK-BREASTED FRUIT-HUNTER.  Forest.  Mts. of N. Borneo (Sabah).
 This species was thought to be a cuckoo-shrike until Ames (1975. Bonn. Zool. Beitr. 26:130) found that it has the "turdine thumb" morphology of the syringeal musculature.  Its turdine affinities were supported by DNA hybridization (Ahlquist, et al. 1984.

Regarded as conspecific with M. lendu by the East African List Committee (D. A. Turner, pers. comm.).  Dowsett and Dowsett-Lemaire (1993, p. 363) note that it is "surprising" that Sibley and Monroe (1990) "recognise M. itombwensis as a good species, in spite of the fact that the describer ... had become convinced it was not separable ... probably related to M. lendu, though with M. olivascens to be considered." 
This statement is itself confusing!  Which is it?  This is an example of the problems that result from attempts to assign closely-related, allopatric populations to "species" or "subspecies".  It is left here as a "species" to call attention to this dilemma.
