Curve-billed Reedhaunter

The Curve-billed Reedhaunter is placed in the monotypic genus Limnornis. The superficially similar Straight-billed Reedhaunter is sometimes also included in Limnornis, but evidence suggests it is closer to Cranioleuca spinetails than it is to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter.

The Curve-billed Reedhaunter is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Curve-billed Reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family. It is found marshy areas of north-eastern Argentina, south-eastern Brazil, and Uruguay. It occupies a similar ecological niche to some reed warblers. The Curve-billed Reedhaunter is placed in the monotypic genus Limnornis. The superficially similar Straight-billed Reedhaunter is sometimes also included in Limnornis, but evidence suggests it is closer to Cranioleuca spinetails than it is to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter.

with the Curve-billed Reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) which lives in the same general region and habitat, and thus shares some adaptations with L. rectirostris. But L. rectirostris seems closer to the typical spinetails (Cranioleuca) than to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter. The modern treatment thus makes Limnornis monotypic also. As using monotypic genera if not really necessary is eschewed by most taxonomists today, the Straight-billed Reedhaunter is liable to be placed in Cranioleuca if further studies verify its placement.

Beagle (3), the curve-billed reedhaunter is a relatively plain-coloured bird with, as the common name suggests, a long, downward-curving beak (2) (4). The body is relatively robust, with a fairly long, rounded tail (5). The upperparts are brown, more reddish-brown on the wings, rump and tail, with whitish underparts that are tinged buff on the lower breast and flanks, and a conspicuous white line above the eye (2) (4). Males and females are similar in appearance (2). More
