The Chestnut-headed Nunlet is a member of the puffbird family, known for its rather drab appearance contrasted with a subtle chestnut-brown head. This species prefers the dense undergrowth of its tropical forest habitat.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests and swamp forests, primarily found in a restricted range within the western Amazon basin, specifically southeastern Peru and southwestern Brazil.
How to spot
Search dense undergrowth along forest edges or near water. Scan for small, still birds that might be overlooked, as they blend well with their surroundings. Their calls are faint and infrequent.
When to spot
Best observed during the dry season when forest trails are more accessible, typically early mornings or late afternoons.

Like other nunlets, the Chestnut-headed Nunlet is an expert at ambushing insects, often making short, quick sallies from its perch to catch prey in mid-air.
