White-headed Wren (Campylorhynchus albobrunneus) - HBW 10, p. 407
French: Troglodyte à tête blanche
German: Weißkopf-Zaunkönig
Spanish: Cucarachero Cabeciblanco
Other common names: White-headed Cactus-wren
Taxonomy: Heleodytes albo-brunneus Lawrence, 1862, Panama Railroad, near summit of Atlantic slope, Panama.
Has been thought to form a superspecies with C. nuchalis, C. fasciatus and C. zonatus. Sometimes treated as conspecific with last, with which may hybridize in S Colombia; proposed race aenigmaticus (from Nariño, in SW Colombia) may be a hybrid between the two. Has also been treated as conspecific with C. turdinus, but differs distinctly in vocalizations. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- albobrunneus (Lawrence, 1862) - Panama, from Canal Zone E to W Darién.
- harterti (Berlepsch, 1907) - E Panama (E Darién) and Pacific slope of Colombia (S to Valle).
