About the Superciliaried Hemispingus
The superciliaried hemispingus (Thlypopsis superciliaris) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and degraded former forest.
The superciliaried hemispingus was formally described as Arremon superciliaris by the French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1840. Lafresnaye described the species based on a specimen from "Santa Fe de Bogota", which is current-day Bogotá, Colombia. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word meaning "eyebrowed". The superciliaried hemispingus has seven recognised subspecies in four subspecies groups. The irregular and non-clinal variation in morphological features such as the color of the underparts and supercilium suggests that several of these subspecies may be better treated as separate species.
T. s. chrysophrys (Sclater & Salvin, 1875): Found in the Andes of western Venezuela. T. s. superciliaris (de Lafresnaye, 1840): The nominate subspecies, it is found in the Andes of Colombia in Santander, Boyacá, and Cundinamarca.
T. s. nigrifrons (Lawrence, 1875): Native to Ecuador and Colombia... Wikipedia →
