Thick-billed Miner (Geositta crassirostris)
About the Thick-billed Miner
The thick-billed miner (Geositta crassirostris) is a species of bird in the subfamily Sclerurinae, the leaftossers and miners, of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Peru. The thick-billed miner's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it two subspecies, the nominate G. c. crassirostris (Sclater, PL, 1866) and G. c. fortis (Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1901). The Clements taxonomy does not recognize fortis, treating the thick-billed miner as monotypic. The thick-billed and campo miner (G. poeciloptera) are sister species.
