About the Wedge-billed Woodcreeper

The wedge-billed woodcreeper (Glyphorynchus spirurus) is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Mexico, Central America, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.

The wedge-billed woodcreeper is the only member of its genus. It has these 13 subspecies that are sorted into three groups and a species by the Clements taxonomy: "pectoralis" group G. s. pectoralis Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1860

G. s. subrufescens Todd, 1948 G. s. pallidulus Wetmore, 1970 G. s. integratus Zimmer, JT, 1946 "spirurus" group G. s. rufigularis Zimmer, JT, 1934 G. s. amacurensis Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1952 G. s. spirurus (Vieillot, 1819)

G. s. coronobscurus Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1955 G. s. castelnaudii des Murs, 1856 "albigularis" G. s. albigularis Chapman, 1923 "cuneatus" group G. s. inornatus Zimmer, JT, 1934 G. s. paraensis Pinto, 1974 G. s. cuneatus (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1820)

The groups differ vocally; that and plumage and genetic differences among the subspecies suggest that the wedge-billed woodcreeper is actually more than one species. The... Wikipedia →
