Peruvian Treehunter (Thripadectes scrutator)
About the Peruvian Treehunter
The Peruvian treehunter (Thripadectes scrutator) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. It is also called the rufous-backed treehunter or buff-throated treehunter. The Peruvian treehunter is a sister species of the uniform treehunter (T. ignobilis) and flammulated treehunter (T. flammulatus). It is monotypic. However, the individuals in the southern part of the species' range are more reddish than the northern ones and might warrant recognition as a subspecies.
