The Rufous Spinetail is a uniformly rufous-colored ovenbird found in humid montane forests. Its striking coloration makes it quite distinctive among spinetails.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru.
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.
