Identification
Separation of species
Paramillo Tapaculo S. canus lacks barring or brown on in the flanks, whereas Paramo Tapaculo S. opacus usually has barring on upper tail coverts, flanks and thighs.
Distribution

Taxonomy
This is a monotypic species.[1]
A paper[3][4] from 2010 proposed that the Paramillo Tapaculo and the Paramo Tapaculo should be seen as separate species based on vocalizations. The split is recognised by Clements (2011)[1] and Gill and Donsker (2010)[2].
