About the Tropical Mockingbird

The tropical mockingbird (Mimus gilvus) is a resident breeding bird from southern Mexico to northern and eastern South America and in the Lesser Antilles and other Caribbean islands. The tropical mockingbird has sometimes been considered conspecific with its closest living relative, the northern mockingbird (Milvus polyglottos) and forms a superspecies with it. The critically endangered Socorro mockingbird (M. graysoni) is also much closer to these two than previously believed.

The tropical mockingbird has these ten subspecies: M. g. gracilis Cabanis, 1851 M. g. leucophaeus Ridgway, 1888 M. g. antillarum Hellmayr & Seilern, 1915 M. g. tobagensis Dalmas, 1900 M. g. rostratus Ridgway, 1884 M. g. melanopterus Lawrence, 1849

M. g. gilvus (Vieillot, 1808) M. g. tolimensis Ridgway, 1904 M. g. antelius Oberholser, 1919 M. g. magnirostris Cory, 1887 M. g. antelius and M. g. magnirostris have been suggested as separate species but morphological and vocal evidence for the potential splits are weak.

Adult tropical mockingbirds are 23 to 25.5 cm (9.1 to 10.0 in) long. The mean weights of various subspecies vary greatly. Adults of the nominate subspecies... Wikipedia →
