About the Slender-billed Miner

The slender-billed miner (Geositta tenuirostris) is a species of bird in the subfamily Sclerurinae, the leaftossers and miners, of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. The slender-billed miner has two subspecies, the nominate G. t. tenuirostris (Lafrenaye, 1836) and G. t. kalimayae (Krabbe, 1992). Among the members of genus Geositta the coastal miner is most closely related to the common miner (G. cunicularia).
