Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and cloud forests along the Andes, ranging from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its brown back and upright posture in the mid-story and sub-canopy. Listen for its distinctive, often thin or squeaky calls, which are crucial for finding it.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often more vocal in the mornings. It is a resident species, observable year-round.
Its propensity for flicking its tail and wings while perched is a common behavior that can help in its identification in the field.
