Fawn-throated Foliage-gleaner

The fawn-throated foliage-gleaner (Automolus cervinigularis) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. == Taxonomy and systematics == The fawn-throated foliage-gleaner's taxonomy is unsettled. Until July 2023, the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) treated what are now the two subspecies of the fawn-throated foliage gleaner, with four other subspecies, as the buff-throated foliage gleaner. At that time the IOC split A. o. cervinigularis and A. o. hypophaeus from the buff-throated to form the new fawn-throated foliage-gleaner, which by the principle of priority took the binomial A. cervinigularis. The IOC renamed the remaining four subspecies the ochre-throated foliage-gleaner to avoid confusion with the former, larger, buff-throated species. It retains the former binomial A. ochrolaemus. The Clements taxonomy had included a seventh subspecies, A. o. amusos (Peters, 1929), in the buff-throated foliage-gleaner. In October 2023 Clements accepted the same split as the IOC and deleted A. o. amusos entirely. The American Ornithological Society has not recognized the split. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World does not recognize the split of fawn-throated foliage-gleaner, nor does it recognize A. o. amusos. It includes…
