The Pale-eyed Canastero is a medium-sized ovenbird distinguished by its striking pale eye, which contrasts with its otherwise muted plumage. It prefers dense, thorny scrub at high elevations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Andes of central Peru, typically found in humid montane scrub, thorny thickets, and forest borders, usually between 2,400 and 3,800 meters.
How to spot
Focus on its distinctive pale eye as a primary identification feature. It often skulks in dense undergrowth, so listening for its calls and waiting patiently near appropriate habitat can be effective.
When to spot
Active during the day, with peak activity often in the morning. Best observed during fair weather conditions.

Unlike many canasteros, its pale eye is a key field mark that helps differentiate it from similar species in its range.
