About the White-masked Antbird
The white-masked antbird (Pithys castaneus) is a Near Threatened species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Peru. The white-masked antbird was known only from its type specimen from its discovery in 1937 until 2001 when its status as a species was confirmed. It had been suggested instead to be a hybrid of two antbird species. It shares genus Pithys with the white-plumed antbird (P. albifrons). It has no subspecies.
