Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Freckle-breasted Thornbird (Phacellodomus striaticollis) - HBW 8, p. 314
French: Synallaxe rousselé
German: Fleckenbrust-Bündelnister
Spanish: Espinero Pechimoteado
Other common names: Rufous-headed Thornbird; Spot-breasted Thornbird (maculipectus)
Taxonomy: Anumbius striaticollis d’Orbigny and Lafresnaye, 1838, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Distinctive race maculipectus often treated, with some justification, as a separate species, differing from nominate in plumage, iris colour, voice, habitat and nest shape. Isolated population in forest fragments in Catamarca and La Rioja (NW Argentina), differing in having dark chestnut forehead concolorous with rest of crown, and darker, more olivaceous back, represents an undescribed race. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- maculipectus Cabanis, 1883 - Andes from C Bolivia (Cochabamba) S to NW Argentina (S to La Rioja).
- striaticollis (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838) - NE Argentina (E Formosa S to E Córdoba and N Buenos Aires), SE Brazil (S from E Paraná) and Uruguay.
