Source-derived summary

The rusty-vented canastero or creamy-breasted canastero (Asthenes dorbignyi) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina and Bolivia.

Taxonomy and systematics

The rusty-vented canastero's taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assign it two subspecies, the nominate A. d. dorbignyi (Reichenbach, 1853) and A. d. consobrina (Hellmayr, 1925). The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society and the Clements taxonomy include three more, A. d. arequipae (Sclater & Salvin, 1869), A. d. usheri (Morrison, A.R.G., 1947), and A. d. huancavelicae (Morrison, A.R.G., 1938).

Editorial summary

“Rusty-vented canastero” enters the record as species of bird. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Rusty-vented, canastero and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1853, 1925, 1869, 1947—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Rusty-vented, canastero and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Rusty-vented canastero” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Rusty-vented, canastero and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1271572. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1853, 1925, 1869 and 1947.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
