About the Canebrake Groundcreeper

The canebrake groundcreeper (Clibanornis dendrocolaptoides) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The canebrake groundcreeper is monotypic. It and the henna-capped foliage-gleaner (C. rectirostris) are sister species and both are part of a larger complex of foliage-gleaners.

The canebrake groundcreeper is 20 to 22 cm (7.9 to 8.7 in) long and weighs 52 to 54 g (1.8 to 1.9 oz). It is a largish furnariid with an almost straight bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a narrow grayish or buff-gray supercilium that widens to the rear and dark brown lores on an otherwise dull reddish brown face. Their crown is dark chestnut-brown, their back and rump rufescent brown, and their uppertail coverts rufous-brown. Their wing coverts and flight feathers are also rufous-brown. Their tail's central pair of feathers are dull rufous-brown and the rest rufous-chestnut. Their throat is white with blackish speckles on the sides, their breast and belly dull grayish, their sides rufous-brown, and their flanks and undertail coverts ochraceous brown.Their... Wikipedia →
