The Gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), (also spelled grey catbird), is a medium sized North American and Central American bird. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. It is the basal lineages of the Mockingbird family, closely related to the thrasher and tremblers then the mockingbirds.[2] In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird.[3]
