The Streak-backed Tit-Spinetail is a slender, long-tailed ovenbird with fine streaking on its back and crown. It is a resident of dry high-altitude scrub and rocky areas.
Where to spot
Dry montane scrub, rocky slopes with scattered vegetation, and puna grasslands in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia. Found at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its long, often cocked tail and active foraging movements. Listen for its characteristic high-pitched, chattering calls. It often forages relatively low to the ground.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the sunnier parts of the day when insect activity is highest. Calls become more frequent during breeding season.
