Cinnamon-rumped Foliage-gleaner Philydor pyrrhodes Scientific name definitions

The genus Philydor reaches its peak diversity in the lowland terra firme forests of Amazonia, to which this species is virtually confined (although it is also found in seasonally flooded areas). The Cinnamon-rumped Foliage-gleaner is a reasonably widespread but generally uncommon, even rare, species distributed from southeast Colombia east to the Guianas, and south to northern Bolivia, as well as over much of Amazonian Brazil, except perhaps the far southeast. It is usually found in the undergrowth of tall forest, but also ranges to the midstory, and is most frequently encountered singly or in pairs, sometimes with mixed-species flocks. Very little is known concerning this species’ general behavior and ecology.
