Hylocichla guttata is a scientific name commonly used to refer to the hermit thrush, which is a species of bird that is found in North and Central America. However, there are several other synonyms that can be used to refer to this bird, including Catharus guttatus, Turdus guttatus, and Hylocichla guttata auduboni. Each of these names refers to a slightly different species or subspecies of the hermit thrush, but they are all similar in appearance and behavior. The hermit thrush is well-known for its melodic song, which is often heard in forests and wooded areas during the breeding season.
