Short-billed Miner
Geositta antarctica Landbeck, 1880

Short-billed Miner, Geositta antarctica, is a passerine of the Furnariidae family that breeds in southern South America, mainly in southern Argentina and southern Chile. It is most often associated with Tierra del Fuego, with smaller breeding populations on the mainland in Santa Cruz Province and Magallanes Region. This species is monotypic and is very similar to the common miner, but it has a much shorter bill. It also lacks rufous in the flight feathers. It was described by Landbeck in 1880.
