The Key to Scientific Names
Legend Overview
Introduction
The Maquis Conastero is an inhabitant of the Andes of western Bolivia. This bird is brown above with a buffy grayish superciliary, and rufous-chestnut tail, wings and chin patch. The Maquis Canastero is similar in appearancs to the Canyon Canastero (Asthenes pudibunda), although their ranges do not overlap. The Maquis Canastero is most often encountered in arid montane scrub, low woodland and thick hedgerows in agricultural terrain. Like other species of canastero, the Maquis Canastero is hard to see since they seldom remain in the open for more than a few seconds as they scamper from hiding place to hiding place.
