The Moustached Wren is a small, active wren of Amazonian and Atlantic forests, characterized by its prominent white supercilium and dark malar stripe, resembling a 'moustache'. It is known for its musical song.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland forests, forest edges, and mature secondary growth in the Amazon basin and Atlantic Forest of Brazil, and adjacent countries.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, musical song, which can be quite loud. Look for a small, active wren skulking in dense undergrowth, trying to spot its white eyebrow and dark 'moustache'.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season.
