Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Lark-like Brushrunner (Coryphistera alaudina) - HBW 8, p. 316
French: Annumbi alouette
German: Chaco-Buschläufer
Spanish: Espinero Crestudo
Taxonomy: Coryphistera alaudina Burmeister, 1860, no locality = near Paraná, Brazil.
No obvious close relatives. Validity of race campicola questioned by some authors; may represent only clinal extreme in variation, and this suggested by mensural data, but quantitative analysis of plumage characters required. Two subspecies tentatively recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- campicola Todd, 1915 - SE Bolivia (Chuquisaca, S Santa Cruz) and W Paraguay.
- alaudina Burmeister, 1860 - S Bolivia (Tarija), N & E Argentina (Salta and Chaco S to Mendoza, La Pampa and S Buenos Aires), NW Uruguay and extreme SE Brazil (W Rio Grande do Sul).
