The Pale-browed Treehunter is a Furnariid characterized by a noticeable pale supercilium or 'brow'. It's an active forager of humid montane forests, often probing bark and moss.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, inhabiting humid montane and cloud forests.
How to spot
Scan mossy branches and tree trunks in humid montane forests. Look for its active probing behavior and the pale brow. Listen for its loud, ringing calls, which can carry far.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during early mornings.

Treehunters are known for their powerful bills, which they use to tear apart dead wood and epiphytes to extract large insect prey, a more destructive foraging method than typical gleaning.
