Rufous-tailed Antthrush (Chamaeza ruficauda)
About the Rufous-tailed Antthrush
The rufous-tailed antthrush or Brazilian antthrush (Chamaeza ruficauda) is a species of bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Argentina and Brazil. The rufous-tailed antthrush was formerly treated as conspecific with Schwartz's antthrush (C. turdina). In addition, what is now the cryptic antthrush (C. meruloides) was long confused with the rufous-tailed and the short-tailed antthrush (C. campanisona); their geographic ranges overlap though they generally are found at different elevations. Their differences were not fully recognized until 1992. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries several authors and taxonomic systems called Chamaeza ruficauda the Brazilian Antthrush. The rufous-tailed antthrush is monotypic.
