About the White-eyed Foliage-gleaner
The white-eyed foliage-gleaner (Automolus leucophthalmus) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.

What is now the Pernambuco foliage-gleaner (A. lammi) was a third subspecies; following a 2008 publication, major taxonomic systems elevated it to species rank.
The white-eyed foliage-gleaner, Pernambuco foliage-gleaner, olive-backed foliage-gleaner (A. infuscatus), and Para foliage-gleaner (A. paraensis) form a superspecies. The white-eyed foliage-gleaner is 18 to 20 cm (7.1 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 25 to 38 g (0.88 to 1.3 oz). It is a fairly large member of its genus and has a heavy bill. The sexes have the same plumage.
