Rio Branco Antbird (Cercomacra carbonaria)
About the Rio Branco Antbird
The Rio Branco antbird (Cercomacra carbonaria) is a Vulnerable bird species in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil and Guyana. The Rio Branco antbird was described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1873 and given its current binomial name Cercomacra carbonaria. A 2014 study confirmed what had been earlier suggested, that the Rio Branco antbird and the Mato Grosso (C. melanaria), jet (C. nigricans), and Bananal (C. ferdinandi) antbirds form a clade within genus Cercomacra. The Rio Branco antbird is monotypic.
