Tapaculo
The tapaculos are a group of small suboscine passeriform birds with numerous species, found in South America. They are usually placed in a distinct family Rhinocryptidae; more recent research (Rice, 2005) indicates that they might be better merged into the Formicariidae as tribe Rhinocryptini, as they are closer to the antthrushes than either is to the formicariid antpittas.
