The Collared Gnatwren is a tiny, active songbird, characterized by a striking black collar, white supercilium, and olive-grey upperparts. It is a highly agile insectivore, flitting through dense undergrowth and low vegetation. This species is native to Central and South America.
Where to spot
Found in Central and South America, from Honduras south to Bolivia and southeastern Brazil. It inhabits humid tropical and subtropical forests, particularly in dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and secondary growth from lowlands to mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched and insect-like calls. Look for tiny, rapid movements in dense undergrowth or low branches. The black collar and white supercilium are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its extensive range. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon hours, when its calls are more likely to be heard.

Gnatwrens are sometimes called 'miniature wrens' due to their small size, active movements, and sometimes upright tail posture, though they are not closely related to true wrens.
