Sooty-fronted Spinetail
Synallaxis frontalis Pelzeln, 1859
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Sooty-fronted Spinetail, Synallaxis frontalis, is a passerine of the Furnariidae family found in eastern, central and southern Brazil, Bolivia, northern and north-western Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. It was described by Pelzeln in 1859. It lives in semi-open country, including gallery forest, forest edges, thorn-scrub, woodland and bushy savanna. A notable feature is its variable plumage across its range, with birds in the north-east brighter than those in the south-west. It is a resident over most of its range, though the southernmost population may move north after breeding.
