The Rufous-tailed Xenops is a small Furnariid named for its prominent rufous tail. Like its genus relatives, it has a specialized bill, perfect for probing and chipping at bark to uncover insects.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and submontane forests in northern South America, particularly in the Guianas and parts of the Amazon.
How to spot
Look for it actively moving on small branches and vine tangles within forest understory or mid-story. Its rufous tail and characteristic foraging style are good indicators. Listen for its soft calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most observable in early mornings and late afternoons when foraging activity is higher.

This particular Xenops often forages by working its way along slender branches and twigs, using its tail for balance, rather than just large trunks.
