Ferruginous Antbird (Drymophila ferruginea)
About the Ferruginous Antbird
The ferruginous antbird (Drymophila ferruginea) is an insectivorous bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Brazil. The ferruginous antbird was described by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1822 and given the binomial name Myiothera ferruginea. It is now placed in genus Drymophila which was introduced by the English naturalist William Swainson in 1824. The specific epithet is from the Latin ferrugineus, "rusty-colored". The ferruginous antbird has no subspecies, but what is now Bertoni's antbird (Drymophila rubricollis) was previously treated as a subspecies of it.
