RUFOUS TWISTWING Cnipodectes superrufus

Endemic; bamboo forest specialist; Vulnerable. In August–September 2014, TNM observed one in bamboo patches near the reserve headquarters; see Melo et al. (2015) ( Fig. 3B ). On 5 June 2018, DPG trapped and ringed (CEMAVE F55386) one in a bamboo patch, and on 1 August 2018, JML trapped and ringed a second individual (CEMAVE F63509) in a part of the forest apparently without any major concentration of Guadua bamboo, whereas the species typically occurs in patches of dense bamboo ( Tobias et al. 2008). HFR is the northernmost locality at which C. superrufus has been recorded ( Melo et al. 2015, Guilherme 2016).
