Spotted
The Spectacled Spindletail is a distinct and somewhat elusive flycatcher, characterized by a pale 'spectacle' around its eye and a unique spiky tail. It inhabits wet grasslands and marshy areas.
Where to spot
Found in scattered populations across parts of South America, primarily in wet grasslands, marshes, and reedy edges of wetlands.
How to spot
Look for its pale eye-ring and distinctive spiky tail, though it can be hard to see in dense reeds. Listen for its buzzy, rattling calls as it moves through vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Often difficult to observe due to its preference for dense marsh vegetation, but early mornings may offer glimpses.

The 'spindletail' refers to its unique tail feathers, which are stiffened and somewhat spiky, aiding its movement through dense marsh vegetation.
