Wrentit, Chamaea fasciata, breeds in North America in Oregon, California and north-west Mexico. It is found in chaparral, oak woodland and bushland along the western side of the continent. The bird is the only member of the genus Chamaea. Its place in classification has long been disputed, and it has been assigned to several different families over time. More recent studies place it in Paradoxornithidae, the parrotbills and allies.
