Spotted
The Sooty-fronted Spinetail is a small, dull brownish ovenbird characterized by a faint sooty wash on its forehead. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and dense secondary growth in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its high-pitched, often accelerating, trilling calls. It stays very low in dense undergrowth, so patience and scanning for movement are key to observation.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Listen for its calls.

This species often forages by gleaning insects from leaves and twigs within dense thickets, making it a challenging bird to get a clear view of.
