Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Rufous-rumped Foliage-gleaner (Philydor erythrocercum) - HBW 8, p. 335
French: Anabate à croupion roux
German: Rostbürzel-Blattspäher
Spanish: Ticotico Lomirrufo
Other common names: Rufous-rumped Leaf-gleaner; Ochre-bellied Foliage-gleaner (ochrogaster)
Taxonomy: Anabates erythrocercus Pelzeln, 1859, Manaus, Brazil.
Finer details of plumage suggest that this species is most closely related to P. fuscipenne, and was formerly treated as conspecific. Distinctive montane race ochrogaster often treated as a separate species; despite striking plumage differences, however, song is similar to, if not indistinguishable from, that of nominate. Race lyra varies clinally in plumage coloration from W to E. Species name often spelt “erythrocercus”, but must agree with neuter gender of genus. Five subspecies recognized.
