About the Rufous-tailed Foliage-gleaner
The rufous-tailed foliage-gleaner (Anabacerthia ruficaudata) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, and possibly French Guiana.
The rufous-tailed foliage-gleaner's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World recognize three subspecies, the nominate A. r. ruficaudata (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838), A. r. subflavescens (Cabanis, 1873), and A. r. flavipectus (Phelps, WH & Gilliard, 1941). The Clements taxonomy does not recognize A. r. subflavescens but includes it in the nominate.
The rufous-tailed foliage-gleaner was previously included in genus Philydor but a 2011 paper made it plain that it did not belong there. This article follows the three-subspecies model. The rufous-tailed foliage-gleaner is 16 to 17 cm (6.3 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 21 to 32 g (0.74 to 1.1 oz). It is a medium-sized furnariid with a wedge-shaped bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a wide ochraceous buff eyering... Wikipedia →
