About the Ocellated Woodcreeper
The ocellated woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus ocellatus) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The ocellated woodcreeper's taxonomy is unsettled. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC) and the Clements taxonomy have long treated it as a species with seven subspecies. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) formerly treated it as a species with four subspecies; the other three were treated as Tschudi's woodcreeper (X. chunchotambo). In July 2023 the IOC lumped Tschudi's into the ocellated woodcreeper, resulting in the same treatment as that of the SACC and Clements.
The seven subspecies recognized by these taxonomic systems are: X. o. lineatocapilla (Berlepsch & Leverkühn, 1890) X. o. beauperthuysii (Pucheran & Lafresnaye, 1850) X. o. perplexus Zimmer, JT, 1934 X. o. ocellatus (Spix, 1824)
X. o. napensis Chapman, 1924 X. o. chunchotambo (Tschudi, 1844) X. o. brevirostris Zimmer, JT, 1934 However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) considers only... Wikipedia →
