The Flammulated Treehunter is a striking Furnariid named for the flame-like streaking on its underparts. It is a powerful forager of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and cloud forests of the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and understory of montane forests. Look for its active foraging on mossy branches and the distinctive flammulated streaking. Listen for its loud, ringing calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during early mornings, often within mixed-species flocks.

The 'flammulated' streaking is particularly noticeable when seen well, resembling fine brushstrokes of lighter feathers against a darker background.
