Sclater's Wren (Campylorhynchus humilis)
About the Sclater's Wren
The russet-naped wren (Campylorhynchus humilis), also known as Sclater's wren, is a songbird of the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Mexico. What is now the russet-naped wren was previously treated as one of eight subspecies of rufous-naped wren (Campylorhynchus rufinucha). A 2009 publication proposed that Campylorhynchus rufinucha (sensu lato) be split into three species and the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) accepted the splits. What had been C. r. humilis was elevated to species status as the russet-naped wren. The reduced C. rufinucha received the new English name Veracruz wren and the other six subspecies became subspecies of C. capistratus, the rufous-backed wren.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 38 recordings for this species: 29 CC BY-NC-SA · 9 CC BY-NC-ND. 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.
