About Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis)

  • Kingdom: Animals
  • Phylum: Chordates
  • Class: Birds
  • Order: Perching Birds
  • Family: Mockingbirds, Thrashers, and Allies

The gray catbird, also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird, it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.
