The Rusty-necked Piculet is a very small woodpecker, characterized by its subtle rusty-brown wash on its neck and throat, contrasting with its otherwise olive-brown plumage. It is an active bird, often seen hopping along thin branches and vines in search of insects.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid tropical lowland forests, particularly in the understory and mid-story, across parts of Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and quick movements on thin branches and vines. Listen for its extremely high-pitched, soft 'tsee' calls or almost imperceptible tapping. Requires patience and good hearing to spot this elusive bird.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active during the early morning hours. Vocalizations are very soft and high-pitched.

The 'rusty' coloration can be quite faint, requiring a good view to confirm, but it is a consistent feature that lends itself to its common name.
