White-winged Cinclodes
Cinclodes atacamensis (Philippi, 1857)
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
White-winged Cinclodes, Cinclodes atacamensis, is a passerine of the Furnariidae found in South America from central Peru to west-central Argentina. It lives in puna grassland and on rocky or shrubby slopes, and is usually tied to streams and rivers. The species has a decurved bill and the sexes look alike. Its wings show a striking pale band, and the nominate form differs from C. a. schocolatinus in having paler upperparts and less grey below. It is mostly resident, though some birds move downslope after breeding.
