The Gray Wren is a small, unassuming wren of humid lowland forests in South America, characterized by its overall grayish plumage. It is a secretive inhabitant of dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and ravines, across parts of the Amazon basin, including Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its relatively high-pitched song and calls. Look for a small, plain grayish wren foraging low in dense thickets or along stream banks; it can be quite shy and blend into the shadows.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

Its 'griseus' specific epithet simply means 'gray', referring to its rather drab but distinctive coloration.
