Spotted
A small, plump, and highly secretive passerine with a distinctive spotted plumage, native to the undergrowth of montane forests in Asia. It was formerly classified as a wren.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid montane forests, primarily in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, including countries like Nepal, Bhutan, India, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
How to spot
Highly elusive, spending most of its time on or near the forest floor in dense vegetation. Listen for its unique, quiet, and rather un-wren-like calls or song. Patience is essential.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best sought during the breeding season when males are more vocal. Can be active throughout the day.

This species was once placed within the wren family (Troglodytidae) but genetic studies revealed it to be a distinct lineage, now in its own monotypic family, Elachuridae.
