Blackish Cinclodes (Cinclodes antarcticus)
About the Blackish Cinclodes
The blackish cinclodes (Cinclodes antarcticus) is a Near Threatened passerine bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found on Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands, where it is known as the tussac-bird or tussock-bird. The blackish cinclodes' taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and the Clements taxonomy assign it two subspecies, the nominate C. a. antarcticus (Garnot, 1826) and C. a. maculirostris (Dabbene, 1917. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats the two taxa as separate species, retaining "blackish cinclodes" for antarcticus and calling maculirostris the "black cinclodes". This article follows the one-species, two-subspecies, model.
