Schulenberg's Tapaculo ... and "his" (somewhat debated) Wren
Sure looks like it, well spotted Martin!
Some sort of confirmation below:

If he was "one of mine" (which he isn't) I would go for Thomas S. Schulenberg =
Thomas Scott Schulenberg (as it says in the
Library Catalogue [of the University of Chicago], where the PhD Thesis itself apparently is kept), alt.
Thomas "Tom"
Scott Schulenberg, commemorated in:
• the Diademed Tapaculo
Scytalopus schulenbergi WHITNEY 1994 (OD in post #1):
ETYMOLOGY.— I am pleased to name this new tapaculo after my friend and colleague Thomas S. Schulenberg, whose field work and informed insights have, for more than a decade, greatly aided many investigators in pursuit of knowledge of Andean birds. In 1980, he headed the LSUMNS expedition into the remote area of Valcón in Puno, Peru, that brought back a fine series of the new species. Finally, it was Tom who several years ago first encouraged me to delve into the depths of Scytalopus. [p.593]
Probably, most likely (I see no reason what-so-ever to doubt it), also in:
• the hard-to-place species (?), or subspecies, Gray-Browed/Plain-tailed Wren
Thryothorus/
Pheugopedius (
euophrys)
schulenbergi PARKER & O'NEILL 1985 (
Note: OD, in full, unseen by me), according to Avibase (
here), as "
Thryothorus euophrys schulenbergi"
The very start of the Paper, where the OD of the latter
schulenbergi is to be found (see latter link in post #1, though no access to p.12, where the OD itself ought to be), does mention "Shulenberg and Williams 1982", which I assume is this Paper (
here), by "Thomas S. Schulenberg" (and Morris D. Williams).
Surely the Wren ought to be "his" as well ... !?
Cheers!
