Current thinking is that the subspecies Troglodytes aedon musculus, found in South America and into Central America might be a full species, the Southern House Wren (Troglodytes musculus) while the bird in North America is the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon). See Rolf de By's website. | |||

The House Wren has few distinguishing features apart from a weak buff supercilium and some barring on the wings and tail. It is widespread throughout South America and is found in open or semi-open areas. |
