About the Short-billed Leaftosser
The short-billed leaftosser (Sclerurus rufigularis) is a species of bird in the subfamily Sclerurinae, the leaftossers and miners, of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. The short-billed leaftosser's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assign it these four subspecies: S. r. fulvigularis Todd, 1920 S. r. furfurosus Todd, 1948 S. r. brunnescens Todd, 1948 S. r. rufigularis Pelzeln, 1868 The Clements taxonomy includes S. r. furfurosus within S. r. brunnescens. This article follows the four-subspecies model.
