How to spot
Look for its entirely rufous plumage. Listen for its loud, ringing calls. It can be found foraging in the mid-story or canopy, making it occasionally easier to spot than other spinetails.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Its loud calls can help locate it.
