Luscinia megarhynchos C.L.Brehm, 1831

Sydnäktergal (Luscinia megarhynchos) är en fågel i familjen flugsnappare inom ordningen tättingar. Det är denna art som är "the nightingale" som är så välbeskriven för sin sång i engelskspråkiga sånger, poesi och andra texter. Sydnäktergalen ersätter näktergalen åt väster och söder.
