The Black-bellied Wren is a distinctive wren found in humid Central American forests, named for its striking black lower belly and flanks. It is a highly vocal resident of dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and tangles, from Honduras to northern Colombia.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing, and often repetitive song. Look for a medium-sized wren foraging low in dense thickets or along forest edges. Its black belly patch is a key field mark.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
