About the Chestnut-backed Antshrike
The chestnut-backed antshrike (Thamnophilus palliatus) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The chestnut-backed antshrike has these four subspecies: T. p. palliatus (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823) T. p. vestitus (Lesson, RP, 1831) T. p. puncticeps Sclater, PL, 1890 T. p. similis Zimmer, JT, 1933 What is now the lined antshrike (T. tenuepunctatus) was previously treated by several authors as a subspecies of the chestnut-backed antshrike. A study published in 2007 confirmed that the lined antshrike is a full species and sister to the chestnut-backed.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
