Another highland endemic from the Talamanca Mountain range in Costa Rica: Long-tailed silky-flycatcher (Ptiliogonys caudatus).

They belong to the small family (Ptiliogonatidae) of only four species in three genera ranging from Central America to southwestern US. The species that reaches the deserts in the US is the famous Phainopepla.

Another highland endemic from the Salamanca Mountain Range in Central America: male Sooty thrush (Turdus nigrescens). This black male is quite similar i appearance to the European blackbird (Turdus merula).

High-elevation thrush species are often dark or black, which presumably provides some thermal advantages in these cold environments.
