Slaty-winged Foliage-gleaner (Philydor fuscipenne) - HBW 8, p. 335
French: Anabate à ailes sombres
German: Schieferflügel-Blattspäher
Spanish: Ticotico Aligrís
Other common names: Rufous-bellied Foliage-gleaner; Dusky-backed/Dusky-winged Foliage-gleaner (fuscipenne); Rufous-backed/Santander Foliage-gleaner (erythronotum)
Taxonomy: Philydor fuscipennis Salvin, 1866, Santiago, Veraguas, Panama.
Finer details of plumage suggest that this species is most closely related to P. erythrocercum, and was formerly treated as conspecific. Considered by some authors to be closer to P. pyrrhodes because of overall plumage similarities. Race erythronotum has sometimes been treated as a separate species; disjunct population in W Ecuador probably represents an undescribed taxon. Proposed race fulvescens, described from a single specimen from N Colombia, represents a plumage of nominate race. Species name often spelt “fuscipennis”, but must agree with neuter g..

Two subspecies recognized.
