About the Rufous-capped Antshrike
The rufous-capped antshrike (Thamnophilus ruficapillus) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The rufous-capped antshrike was described by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816 and given its current binomial name Thamnophilus ruficapillus. It and the rufous-winged antshrike (T. torquatus) are sister species. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society is considering a proposal to lump them as a single species. In addition to the possibility of the lump, the rufous-capped antshrike's taxonomy is further unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee and the Clements taxonomy assign it these five subspecies:
