The Gray-backed Spinetail is a slender, active bird of humid montane forests, known for its agile movements as it forages on bark. It is a member of the Furnariidae family (ovenbirds and allies), not a wren.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically in the canopy and subcanopy, along the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look upwards into the mid to upper canopy, often on the outer branches of trees. It is fast-moving and can be hard to spot, but its high-pitched, buzzy calls might draw attention as it gleans insects from bark and foliage.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its habitat. Most active during the day, particularly in the mornings, and often joins mixed-species flocks.

Spinetails get their name from their stiff, pointed tail feathers, which they often use for support while clinging to tree trunks and branches in search of insects.
