The Cinereous Spinetail is a rather uniform greyish ovenbird found in arid and semi-arid scrublands. Its muted plumage helps it blend into the dry environment.
Where to spot
Dry scrub, caatinga, chaco, and arid woodlands in eastern and central Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive vocalizations, as it can be secretive. Look for subtle movements in dense, thorny bushes. Its plain greyish plumage can make it hard to spot.
When to spot
Year-round. More vocal during the breeding season. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day.

Despite its somewhat plain appearance, it produces a surprisingly varied repertoire of calls, including trills and chatters.
