Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Plain Softtail (Thripophaga fusciceps) - HBW 8, p. 301
French: Synallaxe terne
German: Rostflügelcanastero
Spanish: Colasuave Sencillo
Taxonomy: Thripophaga fusciceps P. L. Sclater, 1889, mouth of Río Chapare, 825 feet [c. 250 m], Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Placed in genus Phacellodomus by some authors. Races vary markedly in size; this, and the anomalous pattern of their distribution and unusual combination of habitats, could suggest that the three races are separate species; further research needed. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- dimorpha Bond & Meyer de Schauensee, 1941 - E Ecuador (Napo) and SE Peru (Pasco, Junín, Cuzco, Madre de Díos, Puno).
- obidensis Todd, 1925 - C Brazil (lower R Madeira, and C R Amazon in E Amazonas and Pará).
- fusciceps P. L. Sclater, 1889 - N Bolivia (Beni, E La Paz, N Cochabamba).
