Canebrake Wren
Cantorchilus zeledoni
The canebrake wren (Cantorchilus zeledoni) is a species of bird in the Troglodytidae family. It is found from eastern Nicaragua to northwestern Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest. It was considered conspecific with Cabanis's wren and the isthmian wren, together called the plain wren. It is considered as a distinct species because of different vocalizations and genetic divergence.

Description
The canebrake wren is 14 cm (5.5 in) long. Adults' crowns are brown and their upperparts are brownish gray merging to olivaceous gray on the rump. Their tail is olivaceous brown with well defined darker bars. They have a white supercilium, a gray-brown stripe through the eye, and cheeks mottled with gray and off-white. The throat is off white, the chest gray, and the lower belly gray-buff. Juveniles have duller underparts and less well defined facial markings.
Range & habitat
The canebrake wren is found from eastern and southeastern Nicaragua through eastern Costa Rica into far northwestern Panama, a zone whose watercourses drain to the Caribbean. It inhabits secondary forest, farmland, and canebrakes but shuns virgin forest. In elevation it ranges from sea level to approximately 600 m (2,000 ft).
