The long billed thrasher (Toxostoma longirostre) is a medium sized resident songbird of South Texas and eastern Mexico. It bears a strong resemblance to its close relative the brown thrasher in appearance, calls, and various other behaviors, however, the two species do not overlap in range except in the winter when the brown thrasher will temporarily reside in the northern range of the long billed.
