Rufous-throated Dipper (Cinclus schulzii)
About the Rufous-throated Dipper
The rufous-throated dipper or Argentine dipper (Cinclus schulzii) is a Vulnerable species of semiaquatic songbird of South America. It is found in Argentina and Bolivia. The rufous-throated dipper was described by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1882 and given the binomial Cinclus schulzii. The type locality is the mountain of Cerro Bayo in northern Argentina. The specific epithet schulzii was chosen to honor the German zoologist Friedrich W. Schulz (1866-1933) who had collected the type specimen. Various authors have misspelled the specific epithet as schulzi and schultzi. Of the five species now placed in the genus, a molecular genetic study has shown that the rufous-throated dipper is most closely related to the other South American species, the white-capped dipper (Cinclus leucocephalus).
