Cinereous owl

However, since 2010, vocal and genetic differences have been shown to warrant its treatment as a species in its own right, according to the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy.However, as of December 2020 the BirdLife International Handbook of the Birds of the World retains it as a subspecies of barred owl.It has grayish white to brownish gray facial disks surrounded by darker brown and buffy bars.The largest is along the Sierra Madre Oriental between San Luis Potosi in the north and Veracruz in the south.[3] The only information about the cinereous owl's breeding phenology comes from the observation of a fledgling of unknown age in Nayarit in early June.
