Wrens (Troglodytidae)

Timberline Wren (Thryorchilus browni) - HBW 10, p. 440

French: Troglodyte des volcans German: Bergzaunkönig Spanish: Cucarachero del Bambú
Other common names: Irazu Wren

Taxonomy: Troglodytes browni Bangs, 1902, Volcán de Chiriquí, 10,000 feet [c. 3050 m], Chiriquí, Panama.
Resembles Henicorhina in many aspects (song, plumage, nest), but recent DNA work suggests that it is closer to Troglodytes; currently placed by most authors in its own genus, pending further investigation. Validity of races disputed, and species may be better considered monotypic. Three subspecies tentatively recognized.
