The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) is a medium-sized North American thrush. It is not very closely related to the other North American migrant species of Catharus, but rather to the Mexican russet nightingale-thrush.^[2] The specific name guttatus is Latin for "spotted",^[3] though historically this species has been given 17 additional species or subspecies names by various authors, now all treated as synonyms.^[4]
