List of ovenbird species

Ovenbirds is the common name for the avian family Furnariidae, though none of its members bear that name. The common name derives from the horneros, which itself derives from the Spanish word for oven, horno, used to describe the shape of their nests. (Eight species do have the English name "hornero".) The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these 321 species in the family, distributed among 71 genera. Two species, the cryptic treehunter and the Alagoas foliage-gleaner, are extinct.[1]

This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.
