Combines what HBW calls White-tailed Canastero (subspecies usheri) and Huancavelica Canastero (subspecies huancavelicae) into one species. Presumably taxonomy is in flux. | ||||||
Found in the puna up to 4700m, usually where there are rocks (HBW). Note some streaking on back and streaked throat, with plain breast/belly and cap. | ||||||
| ||||||
Compare to Canyon Canastero. Found in open puna over 4000. Look for black stripe in center of tail, and light colored front with few markings. | ||||||
| ||||||

Most similar to the Cordilleran Canastero. Prefers denser habitat as opposed to open puna, and is darker in front. Also less likely to show black stripe on tail. | ||||||||||||
Arboreal unlike most canastero. Found over 3000m, and also a bit larger than most. | ||||||
| ||||
Uncommon at high elevations (over 3300 m.) and similar to Many-Striped Canastero, but slightly less streaked and less rufous on wings. | ||||||
Found above 3000m. Note plain throat and chest, and streaking on back and cap. The Puna Canastero was lumped with this species in 2023. That species is also found in the Cordoba mountains in Argentina. | ||||||||||||
