Puna Tapaculo (Scytalopus simonsi)
About the Puna Tapaculo
The puna tapaculo (Scytalopus simonsi) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. What is now known as the puna tapaculo was originally described as a species in 1917. It was later treated as synonymous with Tschudi's tapaculo (Scytalopus acutirostris). Still later it was treated as Scytalopus magellanicus simonsi, a subspecies of Magellanic tapaculo. Following a study published in 1997, it was elevated to species rank because of differences in their vocalizations. Its English name honors American scientific collector Perry O. Simons.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 29 recordings for this species: 17 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.
