Rufous-browed Wren

Troglodytes rufociliatus Sharpe, 1882

Troglodytidae — Wrens

Rufous-browed Wren, Troglodytes rufociliatus, is a bird of humid montane forest in Middle America, breeding from southern Mexico through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and north-western Nicaragua. It was described by Sharpe in 1882 and belongs to the wren family, Troglodytidae. The species has four recognised subspecies, with the northernmost in the mountains of Chiapas and others in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. In Guatemala it occurs from 1,700 to 3,500 m, though it has been found lower in Nicaragua. It was once treated as part of Mountain Wren, but DNA evidence supports it as separate.
