Straight-billed Reedhaunter (Limnoctites rectirostris)
About the Straight-billed Reedhaunter
The straight-billed reedhaunter (Limnoctites rectirostris) is a South American bird species in the family Furnariidae. Formerly it was placed in Limnornis with the curve-billed reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) which lives in the same general region and habitat, and thus shares some adaptations with L. rectirostris. But L. rectirostris is closer to the typical spinetails (Cranioleuca) than to the curve-billed reedhaunter, and is the sister species of the sulphur-bearded reedhaunter. As with many of its relatives, rather little is known about its reproductive habits. In southern Uruguay, a juvenile was observed in mid-January (i.e. midsummer).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 41 recordings for this species: 13 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
