Spotted
The Peruvian Rufous-tailed Finch is a subtle Furnariid with a slender body and a rufous wash on its tail. It prefers humid montane forests, often at higher elevations.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes in Peru, typically at elevations above 1,500 meters.
How to spot
Search for it in the mid-story and canopy of humid forests, where it moves agilely through foliage. Listen for its high-pitched calls, which can help in detection.
When to spot
Active throughout the daylight hours, often joining mixed-species flocks. It is resident and can be observed at any time of year.

Similar to its close relative, the Ornate Rufous-tailed Finch, this species is named for its tail color but belongs to the Furnariidae family, not true finches.
