The Slaty Spinetail is a dark, slaty-grey ovenbird found in humid Andean forests. Its uniform coloration helps it blend into the dim forest understory.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, forest edges, and dense undergrowth in the eastern Andes of southern Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru.
How to spot
Look for its dark, uniform plumage. It is a skulker, so listen carefully for its unique, often scratchy calls emanating from dense thickets. Patience is essential.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in the early morning. Listen for its distinctive calls.
