Rufous-backed Thrush © pinterest.com

Subspecies graysoni has been treated as a separate species, but appears to represent a typical case of colour loss in an insular form of a continental species; in absence of vocal data, separation considered unwarranted.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• rufopalliatus Lafresnaye, 1840   -  Western Mexico.
• interior Phillips, AR, 1991   -  South-central Mexico.
• graysoni (Ridgway, 1882)   -  Tres Marí­as Is (off western Mexico). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Grayson's Thrush (Turdus graysoni).
