Spotted
The Ornate Rufous-tailed Finch is a small, delicate Furnariid, characterized by its slender build and rufous tail feathers. It is typically found in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Distributed in the humid montane forests of the Andes, ranging from Colombia through Ecuador to northern Peru, typically at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Look for it gleaning insects from leaves and twigs in the forest understory or mid-story, often as part of mixed-species flocks. Its small size and quick movements require patience.
When to spot
Most active during the morning hours when foraging. It is a resident species, observable year-round within its habitat.
Despite its common name, it is not a true finch but a member of the ovenbird family (Furnariidae), exhibiting the insectivorous foraging habits typical of many spinetails.
