Description wikipedia

The white-winged tapaculo (Scytalopus krabbei) is a species of bird in the tapaculo family, Rhinocryptidae. It was described in 2020 by the American ornithologist Tom Schulenberg and his colleagues. It is known only from north-central Peru, where it inhabits wet shrub forest and montane forest. White-winged tapaculos are small and drab birds, being mostly gray in color with brownish, barred upperparts and tails, and a distinctive patch of white on the wing. Adults are 10–11 cm (3.9–4.3 in) long; males weigh 18.0–20.8 g (0.63–0.73 oz) and females weigh 16.5–18.0 g (0.58–0.63 oz). Despite their relatively distinctive appearance, their cryptic nature means that they are typically best identified by their vocalizations. Most aspects of the white-winged tapaculo's ecology are unknown, but are thought to be similar to other Scytalopus tapaculos. Like other tapaculos, it is highly secretive and mouse-like in its behavior. The white-winged tapaculo has not yet been evaluated and assigned a conservation status by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but the authors of the study describing it suggested that it be classified as being of least concern.

Scytalopus krabbei — вид воробьиных птиц из семейства топаколовых. Видовое название присвоено в честь орнитолога Нильса Краббе. Обитают в Андах, в подлеске тропических лесов Перу и Колумбии. Впервые ученый наблюдал представителей вида в 1983 году и тогда же записал её пение. Вид был признан самостоятельным на основании этих записей и анализа ДНК много лет спустя. Существует лишь небольшое количество изображений Scytalopus krabbei. Летают эти птицы с трудом. Пищу находят на поверхности земли — между камней, корней и во мху.
