Thryophilus rufalbus (Rufous-and-white Wren)

This is an adult of the subspecies minlosi from the Llanos foothills and gallery forests of Colombia and Venezuela. The previous photo in this set is that of a juvenile individual from the Táchira Depression. The song of this bird is amazing, but I find the song of Thryophilus sernai, the new species from the Cauca River Canyon, just irresistible!
