Curve-billed Reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris)
About the Curve-billed Reedhaunter
The curve-billed reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. The curve-billed reedhaunter and the superficially similar straight-billed reedhaunter (Limnoctites rectirostris) were long thought to be closely related; some authors merged Limnoctites into Limnornis. Genetic studies in the early 2000s refuted this approach by finding that the two species of genus Limnoctites were instead closely related to the spinetails of genus Cranioleuca. The curve-billed reedhaunter is instead most closely related to the wren-like rushbird (Phleocryptes melanops). The curve-billed reedhaunter is the only member of its genus and has no subspecies.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 48 recordings for this species: 10 CC BY-NC-SA · 3 CC BY-NC-ND. 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.
