Dark-winged Canastero Asthenes arequipae (aka Creamy-bellied Canastero Asthenes dorbignyi arequipae ) Chilean name: Canastero del norte
	Putre, Chile February 2007 The Dark-winged Canastero is distributed in the Andes of south-west Peru, northern Chile and western Bolivia. Most authorities consider it as a sub-species of Creamy-breasted Canastero A. dorbignyi because published data to justify a split are incomplete and insufficient. However, Jaramillo treats it as a separate species.
	It is found in the pre-puna shrub zone typical of Putre. It has blackish wings contrasting with the brown upperparts and with rufous on the rump, flanks and undertail coverts. The blackish tail has rufous edging. There are recordings and a distribution map for Creamy-breasted Canastero on xeno-canto.
