French: Troglodyte de Cabot
German: Weißbrauen-Zaunkönig
Spanish: Cucarachero Cejiblanco
Other common names: Cabot’s Wren
Taxonomy: Troglodytes albinucha Cabot, 1847, Yalahao, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Regarded by many authorities as a geographically disjunct race of T. ludovicianus, a view supported by recent observations of similarities in song. Recent specimens from Nicaragua not racially assigned, presumed to belong with subfulvus. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- albinucha (Cabot, 1847) - Yucatán Peninsula: E Mexico (Yucatán, Campeche except SW, Quintana Roo), N Guatemala (Petén) and N Belize.
- subfulvus W. deW. Miller & Griscom, 1925 - C Guatemala and W Nicaragua.
