About the Delta Amacuro Softtail

The Delta Amacuro softtail (Thripophaga amacurensis) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to the southern Orinoco Delta in northeastern Venezuela. The Delta Amacuro softtail was described in 2013 and named for the Venezuelan state of Delta Amacuro in which it occurs. The species had first been collected in 1899, and observed and again collected in the twentieth century, but was not recognized as a distinct species until a series of expeditions beginning in 2004. The Delta Amacuro softtail is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 4 recordings for this species: 4 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.

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