Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Rufous-breasted Wren, Pheugopedius rutilus, is a small songbird of the wren family (Troglodytidae). It was formerly placed in the genus Thryothorus which in the old, broad sense was a motley assemblage of similar-looking wrens. It is found in the tropical New World from Costa Rica and Panama east to Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago. It barely reaches into Amazonia e.g. in Colombia, being otherwise limited to the NW of the northern Andes and its neighboring mountain ranges. Adult Rufous-breasted Wrens are 5.5 in (14 cm) long and weigh 0.56 oz (16 g). They have grey-brown upperparts and black bars on the tail. The throat and face sides are speckled black and white. The breast is rufous, the belly is brownish white and the flanks brown. They have a faint line over the eye and a short thin bill. The face pattern and rufous breast are the best distinctions from the similarly sized House Wren.
