The Striated Puffbird is a medium-sized species, characterized by its heavily streaked brown plumage across its body. It is a quiet and often camouflaged forest bird.
Where to spot
Endemic to southeastern Brazil. It inhabits humid Atlantic Forest, including primary and mature secondary forests, particularly in the understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for its heavily streaked plumage. It often perches quietly on low to mid-level branches. Its calls are typically soft whistles or trills, making it challenging to detect by sound, so visual scanning is important.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods perched motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging. It is a resident species.

Its intricate streaked pattern provides exceptional camouflage against the bark and shadows of the forest, allowing it to remain virtually invisible while it patiently waits for prey.
