Cinclodes
''Cinclodes'' is a genus of passerine birds belonging to the ovenbird family Furnariidae. There are about a dozen species distributed across the southern and Andean regions of South America. They are terrestrial birds of open habitats, typically found near water such as mountain streams or the seashore where they forage for small invertebrates. They are stocky birds with strong legs and feet and pointed, slightly downcurved bills. The plumage is inconspicuous and mainly brown, often with a pale wingbar, stripe over the eye and corners to the tail. They have loud, trilling songs and often raise their wings while singing. Taxonomy The genus ''Cinclodes'' was introduced in 1840 by the English zoologist George Robert Gray. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''kinklos'', a word for an unknown waterside bird, with ''-oidēs'' meaning "resembling". In 1855 Gray specified the type species as the dark-bellied cinclodes, a species that had been described in 1889 by Gmelin under the bi ...
