About the Cinnamon-throated Woodcreeper
The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper (Dendrexetastes rufigula) is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper is the only member of genus Dendrexetastes. Four subspecies are recognized: D. r. devillei (Lafresnaye, 1850) D. r. rufigula (Lesson, RP, 1844) D. r. moniliger Zimmer, JT, 1934 D. r. paraensis Lorenz von Liburnau, L, 1895
Subspecies D. r. devillei has been proposed as a separate species but differs little from the others in voice. The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper is genetically most closely related to the long-billed woodcreeper (Nasica longirostris).
The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper is one of the larger woodcreepers, with a heavy body, short wings, and a short, stout, bill with a slightly hooked tip. It is 22.5 to 27 cm (8.9 to 11 in) long. Males weigh 64 to 74 g (2.3 to 2.6 oz) and females 66 to 77 g (2.3 to 2.7 oz). The sexes are alike.
