Junin Canastero (Asthenes virgata)
About the Junin Canastero
The Junin canastero (Asthenes virgata) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Peru. The Junin canastero is monotypic. It and the scribble-tailed canastero (A. maculicauda) 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. In central Peru the Junin canastero's range slightly overlaps that of the many-striped canastero, and hybrids of the two species are known from that zone.
