Puna Thistletail (Asthenes helleri)
About the Puna Thistletail
The puna thistletail (Asthenes helleri) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Peru and far-western Bolivia. The puna thistletail and eight other species were previously placed in genus Schizoeaca but genetic data showed that the genus is embedded within Asthenes. Some authors considered all of those taxa to be conspecific but the genetic data confirm they are separate species. The puna thistletail is monotypic. However, the population in the southern part of the species' range might qualify as a subspecies.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 25 recordings for this species: 8 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
