Turdus subalaris
Quick answer
occurs in Paraguay, Argentina and central-western, southeastern and southern regions of Brazil (Collar, 2016). The cis-andean population is migratory, breeds in southern Brazil, Argentina and the border with Paraguay, and seems to overwinter in the eastern part of the Cerrado / Amazon transition, flying over Brasília / DF between September and October (Antas & Valle, 1987; Ferreira & Bagno, 2000; WikiAves, 2016). In addition, there are records for PA (Somenzari et al., 2011), TO (Pinheiro et al., 2008), RJ (Pacheco et al., 2010), MT, GO, BA, MG, SP, PR, SC and RS (Grantsau, 2010). In SC and RS, it has been recorded in large numbers from September to April and there is also evidence of breeding activity (Belton, 1985; Maurício et al., 2013). Museum records are centered in the period of April-September in the states of PA, TO, MT, GO, BA, SP and SC (MZUSP; MPEG).
