Speckled Spinetail (Cranioleuca gutturata)
About the Speckled Spinetail
The speckled spinetail (Thripophaga gutturata) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. The speckled spinetail was previously place in genus Cranioleuca but a study published in 2011 places it in Thripophaga. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World made the change by 2018 and the International Ornithological Committee and the Clements taxonomy followed suit in 2023. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society retains the old genus but acknowledges the need for the change and is seeking a formal proposal for it.
