Ok, granted they live in the forest understorey and all, but could we have a brighter picture? Totnesmartin (talk) 16:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, no. Not until we have a neotropical birder come back and share his images with us. Getting good images of skulking understory species is hard work and people who manage it don't always want to share. I'm just grateful we have an image at all.

Authority for Conopophagidae

I've changed the authority from Sclater & Salvin 1873 to Garrod 1877. As many sources claim Sclater & Salvin 1873 as the authority I need to explain why.

Bock 1994 gives the authority as Sclater & Salvin 1873 but does not cite a page number.^[1] A scan of Sclater & Salvin 1873 is available from BHL but I'm unable to find any mention of the genus Conopophaga - or any reference to a subfamily/family.^[2] In 1890 Sclater credits Garrod 1877 on page 329 of Vol 15 of the Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum.^[3]^[4]

Ames et al 1968 also credit Garrod and give details.^[5] But the 49th Supplement to the AOU list follows Bock and credits Sclater & Salvin 1873 - without specifying a page.^[6]

I assume that Bock made a mistake and other authors have copied him. Bock's book is known to be unreliable and to contain errors.^[7]
