Mockingbirds and Thrashers (Mimidae)
Brown Trembler (Cinclocerthia ruficauda) - HBW 10, p. 480
French: Trembleur brun
German: Braunzitterdrossel
Spanish: Cocobino Pardo
Taxonomy: Stenorhynchus ruficauda Gould, 1836, locality unknown = Dominica.
Genus may be most closely related to Margarops; contrary to earlier opinion, appears not to be close to Ramphocinclus. Probably forms a superspecies with C. gutturalis, and previously considered conspecific. Race tremula possibly merits treatment as a separate species; proposed races pavida (St Kitts) and sola (Montserrat) considered indistinguishable from that race. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- tremula (Lafresnaye, 1843) - N Lesser Antilles (Saba, Barbuda, St Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe).
- ruficauda (Gould, 1836) - Dominica, in C Lesser Antilles.
