Chestnut-throated Spinetail (Synallaxis cherriei)
About the Chestnut-throated Spinetail
The chestnut-throated spinetail (Synallaxis cherriei) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is mainly found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The chestnut-throated spinetail is closely related to the stripe-breasted spinetail (S. cinnamomea) and ruddy spinetail (S. rutilans). Beyond that, the chestnut-throated spinetail's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it three subspecies. They are the nominate S. c. cherriei (Gyldenstolpe, 1930), S. c. saturata (Carriker, 1934), and S. c. napoensis (Gyldenstolpe, 1930). In contrast, the Clements taxonomy does not recognize S. c. saturata, which the other two systems include in napoensis.
