The White-eared Wren is a medium-sized wren of Central and South America, characterized by its distinctive white ear coverts (patch behind the eye). It is a vocal resident of humid forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, forest edges, and mature secondary growth, from Central America south to northern South America.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized wren with rufous-brown plumage and a clear white patch on its ear coverts. Listen for its loud, clear, and often musical song. It frequently forages in dense undergrowth.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

Its 'leucotis' specific epithet means 'white-eared', aptly describing its key field mark which stands out against its otherwise rufous-brown plumage.
