Sericornis nouhuysi [virgatus, incl. pontifex group] (Perplexing Scrubwren [incl. pontifex group])

Perplexing Scrubwren [incl. pontifex group]

Sericornis nouhuysi [virgatus, incl. pontifex group] (= Sericornis nouhuysi virgatus) (Reichenow, A 1915)

The perplexing scrubwren is a bird species. Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now known to be wrong; they rather belong to the independent family Acanthizidae. Source: Wikipedia
