About the Striped Treehunter
The striped treehunter (Thripadectes holostictus) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The striped treehunter shares genus Thripadectes with six other treehunters. It has these three subspecies:
T. h. holostictus (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876) T. h. moderatus Zimmer, JT, 1935 T. h. striatidorsus (Berlepsch & Taczanowski, 1884) However, the subspecies' size and plumage differences may prove to be clinal as more data become available. If true, the division into subspecies might not be warranted.
The striped treehunter is 20 to 21 cm (7.9 to 8.3 in) long and weighs 38 to 49 g (1.3 to 1.7 oz). It is a bulky, dark furnariid with a thrush-like shape. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies T. h. holostictus have a mostly blackish-brown face with buff streaks, some of which merge to form a supercilium. Their lores are grizzled blackish brown and buff. Their crown is blackish brown with strong buff streaks. Their back is dark brown with buff streaks and their rump dull dark brown that blends to reddish brown... Wikipedia →
