The Dark-breasted Spinetail is a rather plain ovenbird with a brownish body and darker breast, found in dense riparian vegetation. It is often quite secretive.
Where to spot
Dense riparian thickets, marsh edges, and secondary growth near water in southwestern Amazonia, including Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic accelerating trill. It stays deep within dense, often thorny, vegetation along water, making observation difficult without patience.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in the early morning. Listen for its rapid, descending calls.

This spinetail often forages very close to water, moving through thickets along riverbanks and marsh edges.
