Veracruz Wren (Campylorhynchus rufinucha)
About the Veracruz Wren
The Veracruz wren (Campylorhynchus rufinucha) is a songbird of the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Mexico. What is now the Veracruz wren was previously treated as one of eight subspecies of rufous-naped wren (that carried the binomial 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. Because the binomial C. rufinucha (sensu stricto) had scientific priority, it received the new English name Veracruz wren. What had been C. r. humilis was elevated to species status as Sclater's 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 14 recordings for this species: 11 CC BY-NC-SA · 3 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.
