It lives along rapid rocky

Taxonomy
The rufous-throated dipper was
monotypic.[6] Of the five species now placed in the genus, a molecular genetic study has shown that the rufous-throated dipper is most closely related to the other South American species, the white-capped dipper (Cinclus leucocephalus).[7]
