Pale-browed Treehunter (Cichlocolaptes leucophrus)
About the Pale-browed Treehunter
The pale-browed treehunter (Cichlocolaptes leucophrus) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The pale-browed treehunter's taxonomy is unsettled. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society, the International Ornithological Committee, and the Clements taxonomy treat it as a species with two subspecies, the nominate C. l. leucophrus (Jardine & Selby, 1830) and C. l. holti (Pinto, 1941). BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats the two taxa as separate species, the large and small pale-browed treehunters respectively. The pale-browed treehunter shares genus Cichlocolaptes with the cryptic treehunter (C. mazarbarnetti), which is believed to be extinct.
