About the Rufous-rumped Antwren
The rufous-rumped antwren (Euchrepomis callinota) is a species of bird in subfamily Euchrepomidinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
The rufous-rumped antwren was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1855 and given the binomial name Formicivora callinota. It was transferred to genus Terenura in 1885. There it remained until the current genus Euchrepomis was created in 2012 following phylogenetic analysis.
The rufous-rumped antwren has these four subspecies: Euchrepomis callinota callinota (Sclater, PL, 1855) Euchrepomis callinota peruviana (Meyer de Schauensee, 1945) Euchrepomis callinota venezuelana (Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1954)
Euchrepomis callinota guianensis (Blake, 1949) The rufous-rumped antwren is 10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in) long and weighs about 7 to 9.5 g (0.25 to 0.34 oz).
