"The second species (or P. albicollis) is allied to the first in its general form. It is called Tapacolo, or "cover your posterior;" and well does the shameless little bird deserve its name; for it carries it tail more than erect, that is, inclined backwards towards its head." Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle
The genus has been renamed to Scelochilus albicollis (White-throated Tapaculo).
There's a nice short video here.

Didn't do much today except laundry and fixed a flat on my truck. Only 930 and I'm off to bed. Lame lame lame.
