Gouvêa Junior — CC BY-SA 4.0 — Source: iNaturalist photo #410455123The buff-fronted foliage-gleaner (Dendroma rufa) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is native to the Neotropical realm. == Taxonomy and systematics == The buff-fronted foliage-gleaner's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy follow the conclusions of a 2011 publication that moved the species from genus Philydor to Dendroma. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) retains it in Philydor. According to the IOC and Clements, the buff-fronted foliage-gleaner shares genus Dendroma with the chestnut-winged foliage-gleaner (D. erythroptera), and they and the chestnut-winged hookbill (Ancistrops strigilatus) are sister species. HBW retains the chestnut-winged foliage-gleaner in genus Philydor with the buff-fronted and several other foliage-gleaner species, and does not agree with the above sister species treatment. The three taxonomic systems agree with assigning these seven subspecies to the buff-fronted foliage-gleaner, here listed using genus Dendroma. (HBW retains the neuter spellings of the specific epithets instead of the feminine ones required by Dendroma.)
