Thryothorus genibarbis
Photo by arthurgrosset
Photographed: Bahia, Brazil.

Identification

Long white supercilium and black with white streaks around the ear. Brown-grey crown and nape, upperparts rufous brown, white throat, becoming grey and buffy lower down and the tail has black barring.

Distribution

Brazil (south of the Amazon River) and Amazonian Peru and Bolivia.

Taxonomy

Four subspecies are recognized.

A proposal has been put forward to place this species in genus Pheugopedius.

This species have in the past been thought to include Whiskered Wren, but from sound may actually be closer related to Coraya Wren.

Habitat

Forest, woodland, dense undergrowth near bamboo.

Behaviour

Mostly in pairs or small, species-specific groups.
