Scribble-tailed Canastero (Asthenes maculicauda)
About the Scribble-tailed Canastero
The scribble-tailed canastero (Asthenes maculicauda) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The scribble-tailed canastero is monotypic, but the Argentinian population may warrant subspecies status. (See the Distribution and habitat section.) It and the Junin canastero (A. virgata) have at times been suggested as subspecies of the many-striped canastero (A. flammulata). Genetic data show the three to be separate but closely related sister species.
