About the Bay-capped Wren-Spinetail
The bay-capped wren-spinetail (Spartonoica maluroides) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The bay-capped wren-spinetail is the only member of genus Spartonoica and has no subspecies. The bay-capped wren-spinetail was originally described as Synallaxis maluroides. It was later placed in genus Asthenes but has been recognized in Spartonoica starting in 1950. Genetic data show that it is not closely related to genus Asthenes but instead is sister to the cachalotes of genus Pseudoseisura.
