Spotted
The Rusty-backed Antwren is a medium-sized antwren characterized by its prominent rufous back and crown. It typically inhabits dry woodlands and scrub.
Where to spot
Dry woodlands and scrub (Cerrado) of central and southwestern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and parts of Paraguay.
How to spot
Search in the undergrowth and mid-story of cerrado, gallery forests, and dry secondary growth. Its prominent rufous back makes it relatively easier to spot than some of its duller relatives.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning.
