Sooty-fronted Spinetail (Synallaxis frontalis)
About the Sooty-fronted Spinetail
The sooty-fronted spinetail (Synallaxis frontalis) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The sooty-fronted spinetail's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World treat it as monotypic. The Clements taxonomy recognizes two subspecies, the nominate S. f. frontalis (Pelzeln, 1859) and S. f. fuscipennis" (Berlepsch, 1907). A subpopulation in Bolivia's Cochabamba Department might be separable as a subspecies. This article follows the no-subspecies model.
