Spotted
Sclater's Nunlet is a small and rather plain species, characterized by its uniform brownish plumage and pale eye-ring. It is a quiet and often overlooked forest bird.
Where to spot
Found in western Amazonia, including parts of southeastern Peru and northern Bolivia. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests, particularly in the dense understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for its plain brownish plumage and pale eye-ring. 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.

Named after Philip Sclater, a prominent British zoologist, this nunlet epitomizes the often subtle beauty of forest-dwelling birds that rely on camouflage rather than striking colors.
