Spotted
The Rusty-breasted Nunlet is a small and charming species, characterized by its dark plumage, prominent white eye-ring, and a warm rusty wash on its breast. It is a quiet forest dweller.
Where to spot
Found in western Amazonia, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests, particularly in the dense understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white eye-ring and rusty breast. It often perches quietly on low to mid-level branches. Its calls are typically soft whistles or trills, making it challenging to detect by sound, so visual scanning is important.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods perched motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon. It is a resident species.

Nunlets are typically less colorful than puffbirds but share their sedentary 'sit-and-wait' hunting strategy, often perching inconspicuously for extended periods.
