Orange-breasted thornbird


The orange-breasted thornbird, also known as the red-eyed thornbird, is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is found in forest and woodland, especially near water, in southeastern Brazil and adjacent northern Uruguay.
It was formerly considered a subspecies of P. erythropthalmus, but under the common name red-eyed thornbird. When split, P. erythropthalmus is known as the orange-eyed thornbird. Unlike that species, the orange-breasted thornbird has dark reddish-brown eyes, extensive rufous to the underparts, a relatively large rufous crown-patch, and dark central rectrices. The two also have different voices and are locally sympatric in São Paulo without evidence of interbreeding.
