Schwartz's Antthrush (Chamaeza turdina)
About the Schwartz's Antthrush
Schwartz's antthrush (Chamaeza turdina), also known as the scalloped antthrush, is a species of bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. Schwartz's antthrush was long treated as a subspecies of the rufous-tailed antthrush (C. ruficauda). Their differences were not fully recognized until 1992 when their songs were analyzed in detail. Schwartz's antthrush has two subspecies, the nominate C. t. turdina (Cabanis & Heine, 1860) and C. t. chionogaster (Hellmayr, 1906). The species' English name honors ornithologist Paul A. Schwartz, who was the first to realize how strikingly different its song sounds compared to that of the rufous-tailed antthrush.
