Peruvian Wren (Cinnycerthia peruana)
About the Peruvian Wren
The Peruvian wren (Cinnycerthia peruana) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Peru. What is now the Peruvian wren was formerly called the sepia-brown wren and at that time included as subspecies what are now the species Cinnycerthia olivascens and C. fulva. Confusingly, after the split the name sepia-brown wren was transferred to C. olivascens by the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), but the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC/AOS) and the Clements taxonomy call it Sharpe's wren. C. fulva is named the fulvous wren. The Peruvian wren is monotypic.
