The cinereous owl (Strix sartorii), or Mexican barred owl, is a species of owl that is endemic to Mexico. Taxonomy and systematics The cinereous owl has historically often been considered a subspecies of barred owl (Strix varia), sometimes along with the fulvous owl (Strix fulvescens). 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.
