Cranioleuca Antisiensis - Line-cheeked Spinetail XC250064
The typical spinetails, ''Cranioleuca'', are a genus of Neotropical birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. This is a homogeneous group of small birds that live in forested habitats. The spinetails in this genus differ from those placed in ''Synallaxis'' in having shorter tails and being more arboreal. They are less vocal and more frequently join mixed flocks. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Cranioleuca'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach with the light-crowned spinetail as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''kranion'' meaning "skull" with ''leukos'' meaning "white". The genus contains 19 species: * Creamy-crested spinetail, ''Cranioleuca albicapilla'' * Light-crowned spinetail, ''Cranioleuca albiceps'' * Marcapata spinetail, ''Cranioleuca marcapatae'' * Line-cheeked spinetail, ''Cranioleuca antisiensis'' * Ash-browed spinetail, ''Cranioleuca curtata'' * Streak-capped spinetail, ''Cranioleuca hellmayri'' * Tep ...

Bird Genera
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimmi ...

Coiba Spinetail
The Coiba spinetail (''Cranioleuca dissita'') is a member of the family Furnariidae (ovenbirds) that is endemic to Coiba and Ranchería Islands, Panama. Taxonomy and systematics The Coiba spinetail was originally described as a subspecies of the rusty-backed spinetail (''C. vulpina''), though the author noted that it almost warranted species status. Ridgely and Gwynne were apparently the first to treat it as a species. In 2015 the North American Classification Committee (NACC) of the American Ornithologists' Union (now the American Ornithological Society) recognized the species as separate based on morphological, auditory, behavioral, and genetic differences.R.
