Planalto Slaty Antshrike (Thamnophilus pelzelni)
About the Planalto Slaty Antshrike
The planalto slaty antshrike (Thamnophilus pelzelni) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Brazil. The planalto slaty antshrike was long treated as a subspecies of T. punctatus, which was then called the slaty antshrike. Following the results of a study published in 1997, the slaty antshrike was split into six species, of which the planalto slaty antshrike is one. To avoid confusion the remnant T. punctatus was given its present name of northern slaty antshrike. The planalto slaty antshrike is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 143 recordings for this species: 128 CC BY-NC-SA · 15 CC BY-NC-ND. 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.
