Solitaire (bird)

The solitaires are medium-sized mostly insectivorous birds in the genera "Myadestes", "Cichlopsis" and "Entomodestes" of the thrush family Turdidae.
Taxonomy.
Although all three genera of solitaires are morphologically similar, genetic studies have indicated that they are not particularly closely related. The genus "Myadestes" is in the basal clade of the family Turdidae, along with the genera "Sialia" (the bluebirds) and "Neocossyphus" (African ant-thrushes).
