Adults of the nominate subspecies ''O. m. melanurus'' have a narrow whitish supercilium, dark brown lores and auriculars, and whitish cheeks.

Upucerthia
''Upucerthia'' is a genus of bird in the family Furnariidae. Taxonomy and etymology ''Upucerthia'' is a genus of bird in the family Furnariidae. Established by French zoologist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1832, it contains four species known as earthcreepers. Genetic studies done in the early 2000s indicated that the genus as it stood at that time was highly polyphyletic, with species representing four distinct clades. As a result, a total of five former species were moved to other genera. The rock earthcreeper and the straight-billed earthcreeper were moved to the genus ''Ochetorhynchus''. The Bolivian earthcreeper and the Chaco earthcreeper were moved to the genus '' Tarphonomus'', and the striated earthcreeper was moved into the monotypic genus '' Geocerthia''. The genus name is a portmanteau of the genus names '' Upupa'' (for the hoopoes) and ''Certhia'' (for the treecreepers).

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
