About the Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner

The Santa Marta foliage-gleaner (Clibanornis rufipectus) is a vulnerable species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. What is now the Santa Marta foliage-gleaner was originally described as a species in genus Automolus but in the early twentieth century it was lumped into the ruddy foliage-gleaner (at the time A. rubiginosus, now C. rubiginosus). Following the data in a 2008 publication, it was restored to full species status. More recent genetic data place both firmly in Clibanornis. The Santa Marta, ruddy, and the Henna-hooded foliage-gleaner (C. erythrocephalus)) form a trio of sister species. The Santa Marta foliage-gleaner is monotypic.
