Description
The Veracruz wren (Campylorhynchus rufinucha) is a songbird of the family Troglodytidae, the wrens. It is a resident breeding species in central Veracruz, Mexico. This species was split from the rufous-naped wren when it was determined three main populations vary markedly in size and coloration, and represented separate species: Veracruz wren (restricted to central coastal Veracruz), Sclater's wren (north and west from western Chiapas), and rufous-backed wren (south and east from western Chiapas). This species sometimes retains the name rufous-naped wren by some taxonomists. Some taxonomic authorities do not recognize the split, including the American Ornithological Society.

Habitat
Rufous-naped Wren thrives in lowland tropical dry forests, often found in arid and semi-arid regions characterized by dry scrub. These birds adapt well to human-altered environments and occasionally inhabit coastal mangroves and the fringes of cloud forests. They are predominantly seen from sea level up to the mid-elevation zones within broader Central American regions.
