Spotted
The Rufous-breasted Spinetail is a small ovenbird with a striking rufous breast. It inhabits dense undergrowth in humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, secondary growth, and dense vine tangles in Central America and the Caribbean slope of Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive rufous breast. It is often hidden deep within dense vegetation, so listening for its accelerating, reedy calls is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Listen for its rapid calls.
