Spotted
A distinctive wren with rich chestnut plumage on its breast and flanks, contrasting with a darker back. It is known for its exceptionally beautiful and complex song.
Where to spot
Humid tropical and subtropical forests of the Andes and adjacent lowlands, ranging from Colombia and Ecuador into Peru.
How to spot
Primarily identified by its elaborate and melodious song. Though it can be shy, it occasionally perches conspicuously while singing. Look for it foraging in the mid-story and understory.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal at dawn and dusk, but can be heard throughout the day, especially when the forest is quiet.
This wren is often considered one of the finest Neotropical songsters, with its flute-like, resonant calls being a hallmark sound of the humid forest.
