Plain Softtail (Thripophaga fusciceps)
About the Plain Softtail
The plain softtail (Thripophaga fusciceps) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. The plain softtail was at times placed by some authors in genus Phacellodomus. The species has three subspecies, the nominate T. f. fusciceps (Sclater, PL, 1889), T. f. dimorpha (Bond, J & Meyer de Schauensee, 1941), and T. f. obidensis (Todd, 1925). Because the subspecies are different sizes and are geographically much separated, some authors speculate that they should be treated as full species.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 40 recordings for this species: 14 CC BY-NC-SA · 4 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.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
