    1. Yes that variation is such an interesting feature of the genus! Apparently the white on the face is thought to be an indicator of breeding condition and/or social status. Posted 11 months ago

The Peruvian wren is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It formerly included the sepia-brown wren or Sharpe's wren and the fulvous wren as subspecies, but with all three under the common name sepia-brown wren.
