White-browed Hemispingus
Kleinothraupis auricularis (Cabanis, 1873)
Thraupidae — Tanagers & Allies
White-browed Hemispingus, Kleinothraupis auricularis, is a passerine in the tanager family that breeds in Peru. It is the Peruvian form of an Andean bird found south of the Marañón River. Its white supercilium sets it apart from the related black-capped form, and its ear-coverts are broader. It lives in moist montane and dwarf forests with plenty of Chusquea bamboo, at heights of 1,800–3,600 m. The species was described by Cabanis in 1873.
