Sclater's wren
Sclater's
wren
is a
songbird
of the
family
Troglodytidae
,
the wrens
. It is a
resident
breeding
species
south
and
east
from
western
Chiapas Mexico
.
This species was
split
from the
rufous-naped wren
when it was
determined
three main
populations
vary
markedly in
size
and
coloration
, and represented
separate
species:
Veracruz wren
, Sclater's wren, and
rufous-backed wren
. Some
taxonomic authorities
do not
recognize
the split, including the
American Ornithological Society
.
