features

The ligamentous breast wren reaches a body length of about 14.5 to 15.5 cm with a weight of about 20.0 g. It has a narrow white eye stripe with a dark eye stripe behind the eye. The sides of the face to the nape of the neck are speckled in black and white. The top of the head is reddish brown, the back and rump medium brown. The wings of the hand and the wings are olive brown with very indistinct, inconspicuous darker stripes. The control springs have gray and matt black bands. From the chin to the upper abdomen, it is decorated with fine black and white stripes. These become wider and fuzzier at the rear abdomen and the flanks and sometimes appear yellow-brown. The eyes are reddish brown, the upper beak dark brown, the lower beak gray and the legs dark slate-colored. Both sexes are similar. Young animals resemble adult birds, but have markings on the underside not all the way to the belly. Their irises are brown.

Behavior and nutrition

There are no data on the diet of the ligamentous wren, but it is believed that it feeds exclusively on invertebrates. He looks for his food in the undergrowth, mostly in pairs. Occasionally it mingles with groups of ant birds .

Vocalizations

The singing of the ribbon breast wren consists of a series of fast, repeated phrases and HIU tu-siWHIT sounds, which are answered with vip SI-terWIO sounds. His call also includes a musical trill that sounds like tri'i'i'i'i'i'i ' . This is reminiscent of the sound that is made when you run your fingernail over a comb.

Reproduction

Data on the breeding biology of the ligamentous breast wren are not available.

distribution and habitat

The ribbon-breasted wren prefers thickets and undergrowth in dry forests at altitudes of up to approx. 1600 meters.

migration

It is believed that the ligamentous breast wren is a resident bird .

Subspecies

There are three known subspecies.

  • Pheugopedius sclateri columbianus Chapman , 1924 occurs in western Colombia. The throat and breast of the subspecies are less striped than in the nominate form . The sides and flanks are yellow-brown brown. The top looks more olive brown and less reddish.
  • Pheugopedius sclateri paucimaculatus ( Sharpe , 1882) is common in western Ecuador. The subspecies is more reddish-brown on the upper side, with the head appearing more reddish. The elytra are colored like the back.
  • Pheugopedius sclateri sclateri ( Taczanowski, 1879 ) occurs in southern Ecuador and northern Peru.

The Handbook of the Birds of the World sees all subspecies as synonymous with nominate form and the species is considered monotypical .

Etymology and history of research

The first description of the ribbon breast wren was in 1879 by Władysław Taczanowski under the scientific name Thryothorus sclateri . The type specimen was collected by Jan Sztolcman and Konstanty Roman Jelski at Guajángo . As early as 1851, Jean Louis Cabanis introduced the genus Pheugopedius, which was new to science . This name is derived from "pheugō φευγω " for "avoid, flee" and "pedion, pedon πεδιον, πεδον " for "open land, ground". The species name »sclateri« is dedicated to Philip Lutley Sclater . "Columbianus" refers to the country of Colombia. "Paucimaculatus" is a Latin combination of "paucus, pauci" for "small, little" and "maculatus, maculare, macula" for "dotted, dotted, spot, point".
