About the Ochre-flanked Tapaculo
The ochre-flanked tapaculo (Eugralla paradoxa) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is found in south-central Chile and adjacent western Argentina. The ochre-flanked tapaculo is the only member of the genus Eugralla and has no subspecies. It had at one time been assigned to genus Triptohinus but Eugralla has priority.
The ochre-flanked tapaculo is 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long. Two males weighed 28.6 and 30.5 g (1.01 and 1.08 oz) and other specimens of unknown sex weighed 25.5 to 29 g (0.90 to 1.02 oz). The adults' upper parts are dark gray, the underparts as far as the abdomen paler gray, and the abdomen and vent are clay brown. The flanks are tawny brown The juvenile is barred throughout with cinnamon to rufous over dusky gray. Unusual for a tapaculo, it has a "Roman nose" facial profile.
The ochre-flanked tapaculo is a year round resident of south-central Chile (Maule Region to Los Lagos Region) and the western parts of the adjoining Argentinian provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro, and Chubut. It is found from sea level to 900 m (3,000 ft) and perhaps higher, where it inhabits dense undergrowth and... Wikipedia →
