Sooty shrikethrush Sooty shrikethrush The sooty shrikethrush ("Colluricincla tenebrosa") is a species of bird in the family Pachycephalidae. It is found in the New Guinea Highlands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The sooty shrikethrush was formerly known as "Colluricincla umbrina" , as the name "Rectes tenebrosus" (the morningbird) has priority over "Pachycephala tenebrosa" (the sooty shrikethrush) when the two species are placed in the same genus; with the transfer of the morningbird from the genus "Colluricincla" to "Pachycephala" in 2013, the sooty shrikethrush reverted from "umbrina" to the older name "tenebrosa".
