Rufous Gnateater
Conopophaga lineata (Wied-Neuwied, M, 1831)
Conopophagidae — Gnateaters
Rufous Gnateater Conopophaga lineata occurs in south-eastern South America, where it inhabits forest undergrowth and bushes. It belongs to the gnateater family and is a passerine. In eastern Brazil it ranges from Rio Grande do Sul north to central Brazil, and its distribution also reaches eastern Paraguay, north-eastern Argentina and Uruguay. It is usually difficult to spot, yet it is more widespread and less wary than other gnateaters. Two subspecies are recognised: C. l. lineata in Brazil, and C. l. vulgaris in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and north-eastern Argentina.
