Spotted
The Lark-like Spinetail is a unique ovenbird with a somewhat upright posture and a plumage pattern reminiscent of a lark, including a streaked back and pale underparts. It is a terrestrial species.
Where to spot
Dry grasslands, semi-arid scrub, and open savannas in central South America, particularly in the Chaco region. Prefers areas with short grass and bare ground.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground, often in open areas. Its upright posture and streaked plumage are distinctive. Listen for its complex and varied song, often given from a low perch.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are more frequent during the breeding season.
Unlike many ovenbirds, this species spends most of its time on the ground, foraging for insects in open, grassy areas, mimicking the behavior of true larks.
