New World Warblers (Parulidae)
Louisiana Waterthrush (Seiurus motacilla) - HBW 15, p. 767
French: Paruline hochequeue
German: Stelzenwaldsänger
Spanish: Reinita Charquera de Luisiana
Taxonomy: Turdus motacilla Vieillot, 1809, Kentucky, USA.
Recent studies of mitochondrial DNA suggest that this species and S. noveboracensis are not closely related to S. aurocapilla and should be placed in a separate genus (for which the name Parkesia has been proposed). The two form a species pair; sometimes regarded as constituting a superspecies, but overlap in ranges occurs in S Canada (S Ontario) and NE USA. Monotypic.
Distribution: Breeds in SE Canada (SE Ontario) and E USA from Minnesota, E Nebraska and E Texas E, discontinuously, to New Hampshire region and South Carolina (largely excluding Gulf and SE Atlantic coastal areas and Florida). Migrates to Middle America from N Mexico S to Panama (in smaller numbers to N Colombia and Venezuela) and to Caribbean (mainly Greater Antilles).
