Para Gnatcatcher (Polioptila paraensis)
About the Para Gnatcatcher
The Para gnatcatcher (Polioptila paraensis) or Klages's gnatcatcher is a species of bird in the family Polioptilidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The Para gnatcatcher was formally described in 1937 as Polioptila paraensis by the American ornithologist W. E. Clyde Todd based on a specimen that had been collected by Samuel M. Klages near Benevides in the state of Pará of northern Brazil. The Para gnatcatcher was formerly considered as a subspecies of the Guianan gnatcatcher (Polioptila guianensis). Three subspecies are recognised: Polioptila paraensis facilis Zimmer, JT, 1942 – eastern Colombia (Vaupés and Guainía) and southern Venezuela (Amazonas) to far northern Brazil (northern Amazonas and west-central Roraima)

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 13 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.
