Russet-mantled Softtail © flickr.com

Placed in genus Phacellodomus by some authors, whereas others suspect that it belongs in Cranioleuca. Differs from congeners in general plumage and montane distribution, but head pattern and bill coloration very similar to those of Plain Softtail (Thripophaga fusciceps).

Similar Species
Most closely resembles Marcapata Spinetail (Cranioleuca marcapatae) and Light-crowned Spinetail (Cranioleuca albiceps), but range overlaps with neither species.
