About the Ash-throated Antwren
The ash-throated antwren (Herpsilochmus parkeri) is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Peru. The ash-throated antwren was described as a new species in 1986. The first specimens had been collected in northern Peru in 1983. It is a member of a clade within the genus that also includes the Bahia antwren (H. pileatus), black-capped antwren (H. atricapillus), and creamy-bellied antwren (H. motacilloides). The ash-throated and creamy-bellied antwrens are sister species. The ash-throated antwren's specific epithet honors Theodore A. Parker III, "the finest field birder/ornithologist that the world had ever seen". The ash-throated antwren is monotypic.
