About the Streak-backed Canastero
The streak-backed canastero (Asthenes wyatti) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The streak-backed canastero's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assign it these 12 subspecies:
A. w. wyatti (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1871) A. w. sanctaemartae (Todd, 1950) A. w. phelpsi (Chesser, 2016) A. w. mucuchiesi (Phelps & Gilliard, 1941) A. w. aequatorialis (Chapman, 1921) A. w. azuay (Chapman, 1923) A. w. graminicola (Sclater, PL, 1874)
A. w. punensis (von Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1901) A. w. cuchacanchae (Chapman, 1921) A. w. lilloi (Oustalet, 1904) A. w. sclateri (Cabanis, 1878) A. w. brunnescens (Nores & Yzurieta, 1983) The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC) and the Clements taxonomy treat A. w. punensis, A. w. cuchacanchae, A. w. lilloi, and A. w. sclateri as the puna canastero, A. sclateri. They do treat the streak-backed canastero sensu stricto and puna canastero as a superspecies.... Wikipedia →
