The tuftedcheeks are a genus, Pseudocolaptes, of passerine birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. They are found in the mountains of the tropical New World from Costa Rica to Bolivia.
==Taxonomy== The genus Pseudocolaptes was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. The name combines the Ancient Greek ψεύδος (pseúdos), meaning "false", and κολάπτης (koláptēs), meaning "chiseller, pecker". George Robert Gray designated the type species in 1855 as Anabates auritus Lichtenstein. This taxon is now considered a subspecies of the streaked tuftedcheek (Pseudocolaptes boissonneautii auritus) with Johann Jakob von Tschudi credited as the authority.
