It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. == Taxonomy and systematics == The slaty-backed nightingale-thrush was originally described in 1845 by as Myioturdus fuscater. It was later reassigned to its present genus Catharus that had been erected in 1850. The slaty-backed nightingale's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it these seven subspecies: C. f. hellmayri Berlepsch, 1902 C. f. mirabilis Nelson, 1912 C. f. sanctaemartae Ridgway, 1904 C. f. fuscater (Lafresnaye, 1845) C. f. opertaneus Wetmore, 1955 C. f. caniceps Chapman, 1924 C. f. mentalis Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876 The Clements taxonomy recognizes four more subspecies: C. f. arcanus Halley, Catanach, Klicka & Weckstein, 2023 C. f. tenebris Halley, Catanach, Klicka & Weckstein, 2023 C. f. berlepschi Lawrence, 1887 C. f. nebulus Halley, Catanach, Klicka & Weckstein, 2023 Halley et al. separate C. f. arcanus from C. f. mirabilis and C. f. tenebris from C. f. caniceps. They treat berlepschi as a full species and nebulus as a subspecies of it. This article…
