About the Roraiman Barbtail

The Roraiman barbtail (Roraimia adusta) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. The Roraiman barbtail is the only member of its genus. Beyond that its taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it these four subspecies: R. a. obscurodorsalis Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1948 R. a. mayri (Phelps, WH Jr, 1977) R. a. duidae Chapman, 1939 R. a. adusta (Salvin & Godman, 1884) However, the Clements taxonomy does not recognize R. a. mayri but includes it within R. a. adusta.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 7 recordings for this species: 1 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.
