Sharp-billed Canastero (Asthenes pyrrholeuca)
About the Sharp-billed Canastero
The sharp-billed canastero or lesser canastero (Asthenes pyrrholeuca) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and has also occurred as a vagrant in Brazil. The sharp-billed canastero's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assign it two subspecies, the nominate A. p. pyrrholeuca (Vieillot, 1817) and A. p. sordida (Lesson, 1839). The Clements taxonomy adds two more, A. p. affinis (Berlepsch, 1906) and A. p. flavogularis (Gould, 1839). The IOC and HBW consider affinis to be a seasonal morph of sordida and flavogularis to be a seasonal morph of the nominate pyrrholeuca.
