Lesser Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus fuscus)
About the Lesser Woodcreeper
The lesser woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus fuscus) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The lesser woodcreeper was originally placed in genus Lepidocolaptes but has been in its current assignment since the late 1990s. It has three subspecies, the nominate X. f. fuscus (Vieillot, 1818), X. f. pintoi (Longmore & Silveira, 2005), and X. f. tenuirostris (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1820). Subspecies X. f. pintoi had previously been known as Lepidocolaptes fuscus brevirostris but the subspecies epithet was changed upon the move to genus Xiphorynchus because of the principle of priority.
