Cranioleuca
The typical spinetails, ''Cranioleuca'', are a genus of Neotropical birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. This is a homogeneous group of small birds that live in forested habitats. The spinetails in this genus differ from those placed in ''Synallaxis'' in having shorter tails and being more arboreal. They are less vocal and more frequently join mixed flocks. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Cranioleuca'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach with the light-crowned spinetail as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''kranion'' meaning "skull" with ''leukos'' meaning "white". The genus contains 19 species: * Creamy-crested spinetail, ''Cranioleuca albicapilla'' * Light-crowned spinetail, ''Cranioleuca albiceps'' * Marcapata spinetail, ''Cranioleuca marcapatae'' * Line-cheeked spinetail, ''Cranioleuca antisiensis'' * Ash-browed spinetail, ''Cranioleuca curtata'' * Streak-capped spinetail, ''Cranioleuca hellmayri'' * Te ...

Line-cheeked Spinetail
The line-cheeked spinetail (''Cranioleuca antisiensis'') is an arboreal species of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is a common species in the Andes in Ecuador and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, woodland and scrub. It is distinguished from other species by its distribution, behaviour and white supercilium. There are two recognized subspecies, which are in reality a gradient in morphology and plumage from one extreme to the other. The IUCN Red List conservation status is rated as Least Concern, as the line-cheeked spinetail is common along its range and is presumably stable. However, since it is arboreal, the line-cheeked spinetail is vulnerable to deforestation. Yet, it is relatively tolerant to human disturbance and does well in successional vegetation. Taxonomy The line-cheeked spinetail was formally described in 1859 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater from a specimen collected near the town of Cuenca in Ecuador ...

Scaled Spinetail
The scaled spinetail (''Cranioleuca muelleri'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is endemic to the lower Amazon River in Brazil, where it inhabits várzea forests and tropical or subtropical swamplands. Description The scaled spinetail is a dark bird with scaly-looking undersides, a pale supercilium, dark brown upperparts and rufuous crown, wings and tail. The tail is graduated, with basally stiffened rectrices, pointed at tips. Breast and belly are very pale buff-brown; the feathers of throat, breast and belly are edged dark olive, creating a coarse, scaled appearance. It measures in length. Distribution and habitat The scaled spinetail is endemic to the east Amazon River in Brazil, ranging from extreme eastern Amazonas, eastern to southern Amapá and Mexiana Island in Pará. It inhabits flooded tropical evergreen forest, restricted to the undergrowth and midstory of Brazilian várzea forests (seasonally flooded forests). It ranges from 0–200 m elevation ...

Coiba Spinetail
The Coiba spinetail (''Cranioleuca dissita'') is a member of the family Furnariidae (ovenbirds) that is endemic to Coiba and Ranchería Islands, Panama. Taxonomy and systematics The Coiba spinetail was originally described as a subspecies of the rusty-backed spinetail (''C. vulpina''), though the author noted that it almost warranted species status. Ridgely and Gwynne were apparently the first to treat it as a species. In 2015 the North American Classification Committee (NACC) of the American Ornithologists' Union (now the American Ornithological Society) recognized the species as separate based on morphological, auditory, behavioral, and genetic differences.R.

Red-faced Spinetail
The red-faced spinetail (''Cranioleuca erythrops'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The red-faced spinetail measures long. The bird is named for its distinctive rufous cheeks and crown. The wings are also rufous. The back and nape are dark olive-brown, while the rest of the underparts are light olive-brown. This species often associates with Mixed-species foraging flock, mixed-species flocks. The red-faced spinetail places bits of grass and other material loosely streaming both above and below the nest chamber to break the shape of the nest and to cause it to resemble random debris without any underlying structure. This is considered as a case of protection of its nest from predators by camouflage or "masquerade".
