The Chestnut-winged Cinclodes is a Furnariid characterized by a distinct rufous or chestnut patch in its wing, particularly visible in flight. It inhabits high-altitude grasslands and rocky areas of the Andes.
Where to spot
Found in the high Andes, from Venezuela to southern Peru, typically in puna and paramo habitats, rocky slopes, and near water sources.
How to spot
Scan open, rocky, high-altitude grasslands, especially near water. The chestnut wing patch is a key identification feature, particularly when it flies. Listen for its calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during the morning when foraging is active.
