by Nando Quiroz from Sinai, Dari\u00e9n Province, Panama (song)

Subspecies
Has been thought to form a superspecies with Stripe-backed Wren (Campylorhynchus nuchalis), Fasciated Wren (Campylorhynchus fasciatus) and Band-backed Wren (Campylorhynchus zonatus). Sometimes treated as conspecific with Band-backed Wren (Campylorhynchus zonatus), with which it may hybridize in southern Colombia. Proposed subspecies aenigmaticus (from Nari�o, in south-western Colombia) may be a hybrid between the two. Has also been treated as conspecific with Thrush-like Wren (Campylorhynchus turdinus), but differs distinctly in vocalizations.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

albobrunneus (Lawrence, 1862) - Panama, from Canal Zone east to western Dari�n.
harterti (von Berlepsch, 1907) - Eastern Panama (eastern Dari�n) and Pacific slope of Colombia (south to Valle).
aenigmaticus ? - South-western Colombia (Nari�o); probable hybrid albobrunneus x zonatus.
