Streak-capped Treehunter
Thripadectes virgaticeps Lawrence, 1874
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Streak-capped Treehunter, Thripadectes virgaticeps, is a passerine of the ovenbird family Furnariidae and breeds in northern South America from Venezuela to Ecuador. It was described by Lawrence in 1874. The species is a resident bird with a disjunct range, and its populations are split across the Venezuelan Coastal Range, the Andes of western Venezuela, several Andean regions of Colombia, and north-western Ecuador. It is mainly associated with subtropical montane evergreen forest, though it also uses secondary forest locally, and it usually stays in the undergrowth.
