Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)

Buff-throated Foliage-gleaner (Automolus ochrolaemus) - HBW 8, p. 345

French: Anabate à gorge fauve German: Fahlkehl-Baumspäher Spanish: Ticotico Gorgiclaro
Other common names: Buff-throated Leaf-gleaner/Automolus

Taxonomy: Anabates ochrolaemus Tschudi, 1844, Peru.
Vocal differences described for race exsertus and perhaps others suggest that more than one species may be involved; pallidigularis considered a separate species by some authors. Populations from Belize may show signs of intergradation between cervinigularis and hypophaeus; proposed race amusos described (from Honduras) as paler than latter, but considered not diagnosable. Some signs of introgression between auricularis and nominate in W Brazil. Seven subspecies recognized.

Subspecies and Distribution:

cervinigularis (P. L. Sclater, 1857) - Caribbean lowlands of S Mexico (Veracruz and S from S Quintana Roo), Guatemala and W Belize.
hypophaeus Ridgway, 1909 - Honduras S to NW Panama.
exsertus Bangs, 1901 - Pacific slope of SW Costa Rica and W Panama.
