Diagnosis
Genetics: In both phylogenetic reconstructions, samples from the range of C. hellmayri formed a clade that was sister to the rest of the ingroup. ABGD and ASAP analyses both identified C. hellmayri as an independent genetic cluster. The estimated divergence time between C. hellmayri and the rest of the complex was 3.2 Mya (range = 2.6–3.8) and it was highly divergent from its closest geographic neighbours, C. [f.] mirabilis (mean uncorrected p -distance = 0.075) and Undescribed 1 (mean uncorrected p -distance = 0.076).
Morphology: Study skins of C. hellmayri have darker ventral plumage than any other taxon, except C. [f.] sanctaemartae ( Fig. 13 View Figure 13 ); less black on the chin than C. [f.] sanctaemartae; and shorter tails on average than any other taxon (see: Hellmayr 1934).
Voice: Catharus hellmayri is distinguished from the South American taxa by its Type 1 punctuation call structure ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ), ‘tightly spaced’ contact call structure ( Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ), and greater diversity of song contours ( Fig. 12 View Figure 12 ). It was the only taxon with a narrow-bandwidth blurred call that rose in pitch ( Fig. 11 View Figure 11 ). The song contour DACB accounted for 15% of songs in C. hellmayri (N = 27/179), but was not detected in any other clade.
Etymology
The proposed English name references the Cordillera de Talamanca, which encompasses nearly the entire range of C. hellmayri .
