Brown Cacholote
Pseudoseisura lophotes (Reichenbach, 1853)
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Brown Cacholote, Pseudoseisura lophotes, is a passerine of the Furnariidae family that breeds in south-central and south-eastern South America. It was described by Reichenbach in 1853. Its range includes forests and parks in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. A notable feature of the species is its large, pitcher-shaped nest, which it constructs throughout the year. Breeding starts in mid-November, and both adults share nest care. The young leave the nest after 19 days, following an incubation period of 17 to 20 days.
