About the Ruddy Foliage-gleaner
The ruddy foliage-gleaner (Clibanornis rubiginosus) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. Its range is highly disjunct, with populations in Mexico, several Central American countries, and in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The ruddy foliage-gleaner was previously placed in genus Automolus but genetic data place it firmly in Clibanornis. Beyond that change, the species' taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assign it these 13 subspecies:
C. r. guerrerensis (Salvin & Godman, 1891) C. r. rubiginosus (Sclater, PL, 1857) C. r. veraepacis (Salvin & Godman, 1891) C. r. fumosus (Salvin & Godman, 1891) C. r. saturatus (Chapman, 1915) C. r. sasaimae (Meyer de Schauensee, 1947)
C. r. nigricauda (Hartert, EJO, 1898) C. r. venezuelanus (Zimmer, JT & Phelps, WH, 1947) C. r. cinnamomeigula (Hellmayr, 1905) C. r. caquetae (Meyer de Schauensee, 1947) C. r. brunnescens (Berlioz, 1927) C. r. watkinsi (spelled "watkinsorum" by HBW) (Hellmayr, 1912)
