Grey Wren (Cantorchilus griseus)
About the Grey Wren
The grey wren (Cantorchilus griseus) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to the southwestern part of Amazonas state in Brazil. This small, poorly known wren somewhat resembles a house wren, but its upperparts are gray. The grey wren, with many other Cantorchilus wrens, was originally included in genus Thryothorus, but that genus was determined to be paraphyletic. There are suggestions that the species may warrant its own genus because it is quite different from the rest of genus Cantorchilus.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 12 recordings for this species: 12 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.
