Spotted
The Plain-mantled Tit-Spinetail is a slender, long-tailed ovenbird with a relatively unpatterned, grayish-brown back. It is a denizen of high-Andean montane scrub.
Where to spot
High-altitude montane scrub, rocky slopes with scattered bushes, and semi-arid puna grasslands in the central Andes. Found at very high elevations.
How to spot
Its long tail and agile movements are key identification clues. Listen for its high-pitched, often dry trilling calls. Observe it carefully as it gleans insects from low vegetation and rocks.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during daylight hours, especially in sunny conditions. Calls may be more frequent during the breeding period.

This species often forages in a very agile manner, darting quickly between branches and often hanging upside down to reach insects in difficult spots.
