The stripe-breasted spinetail (''Synallaxis cinnamomea'') is a passerine bird found in the tropical New World in Trinidad, Tobago, Colombia and Venezuela. This species is a fairly common resident breeder in hill forest, and in Tobago also occurs in lowland and scrub habitats. It is a member of the South American bird family Furnariidae, a group in which many species build elaborate clay nests, giving rise to the English name for the family of "ovenbirds". However, stripe-breasted spinetail constructs a spherical stick nest with a tubular entrance low in a bush, into which its two greenish white eggs are laid. The stripe-breasted spinetail is typically 14 cm long, and weighs 16 g. It is a slender bird with a longish tail. The upperparts and head are dark brown, and the wings are chestnut. The throat is white streaked with black,and the rest of the underparts are dark-streaked buff. The sexes are similar, but there are several races. ''S. c. aveledoi'' is paler, ''S. c. striatipectus'' is darker and ''S. c. bolivari'' is whiter with a less streaked throat. The Tobago form ''S. c. terrestrisi'' is large and pale, and ''S. c. carri'' on Trinidad is dark and lightly streaked. Stripe-breasted spinetail is an insectivore which is often difficult to see as it forages in undergrowth, but may be located by its calls, a querulous ''chew'' or a high-pitched nasal ''keep gcing''. == References == * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stripe-breasted spinetail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
