Solitaire (bird)
The solitaires are medium-sized mostly insectivorousbirds in the generaMyadestes, Cichlopsis and Entomodestes of the thrush family Turdidae.
Taxonomy
Although all three genera of solitaires are morphologically similar, genetic studies have indicated that they are not particularly closely related. The genus Myadestes is in the basal clade of the family Turdidae, along with the genera Sialia (the bluebirds) and Neocossyphus (African ant-thrushes).[1]
