Abstract: Catharus fuscescens (Stephens, 1817), Veery, is a Nearctic–Tropical migrant that winters mainly in Brazilian Amazonia and Cerrado. In the Atlantic Forest of the southeastern region of Brazil, it is frequently recorded in São Paulo and Minas Gerais states, but remains undocumented from Rio de Janeiro. We report the first confirmed record of C. fuscescens in Rio de Janeiro, based on a banded specimen (F7817) captured on Marambaia Island, Mangaratiba. This finding contributes to the understanding of the species’ distribution and migratory routes and supports conservation strategies in southeastern Brazil.
