WHITE-CHINNED THISTLETAIL Asthenes fuliginosa. This White-chinned Thistletail is looking back after having captured a caterpillar with lichen camouflage in some bushes in the paramo at an elevation of about 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) at the Papallacta Pass to the east of Quito in northern Ecuador at 8:39 AM on the cloudy morning of November 4, 2018.
The White-chinned Thistletail belongs to the avian family Furnariidae (Ovenbirds) and is found in the Andes of western Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Perú. Formerly, this species bore the scientific name Schizoeaca fuliginosa.

Asthenes fuliginosa, Colombia 2024
Record shot at best but I always think ovenbirds; that is, members of familly Furnariidae, are interesting.

Asthenes fuliginosa fuliginosa(?)
Chingaza NP, Cundinamarca department, Colombia.
Compare this to the previous two photos. It looks very different with darker gray underparts, more gray on the face, and a striking white iris. However, this isolated population from eastern Colombia and western Venezuela are currently included in the nominate subspecies along with birds from southern Colombia and northern Ecuador. Vocally they are also quite different. It wouldn't surprise me if it eventually gets described as a new taxon.
