Red-eyed Thornbird

The Orange-eyed Thornbird is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family. It is endemic to Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil. It formerly included P. ferrugineigula as a subspecies, but under the common name Red-eyed Thornbird. Unlike that species, the Orange-eyed Thornbird has conspicuously bright orange eyes, far less rufous below and on the crown , and the entire tail rufous. The two also have different voices and are locally sympatric in São Paulo without evidence of interbreeding.

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

The Red-eyed Thornbird (Phacellodomus ferrugineigula) is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family. It is found in forest and woodland, especially near water, in south-eastern Brazil and Uruguay. It was formerly considered a subspecies of P. erythropthalmus, but under the common name Red-eyed Thornbird. Unlike that species, the Red-eyed Thornbird has dark reddish-brown eyes, extensive rufous to the underparts, a relatively large rufous crown-patch, and dark central rectrices (which contrast with the rufous outer rectrices).
