Spotted
The Rufous-fronted Tit-Spinetail is a striking ovenbird with a clear rufous forehead and a prominent pale supercilium. It is a rare and localized inhabitant of high-Andean Polylepis woodlands.
Where to spot
Restricted to remnant Polylepis woodlands and adjacent high-altitude scrub in the Andes of Peru. Found at very high elevations, often near treeline.
How to spot
Its rufous forehead is a strong identifier. Seek out Polylepis patches and listen for its high-pitched, rattling calls. It can be quite agile, foraging within the dense branches of these trees.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but detection can be challenging. Best observed during early mornings when temperatures are cooler and activity is higher.

This species is highly dependent on Polylepis woodlands, an endangered high-altitude tree genus, making its conservation status particularly vulnerable.
