The Stripe-breasted Foliage-gleaner is a widespread Furnariid of Andean forests, easily identified by the prominent streaking on its breast. It is an active bird, gleaning insects from leaves and bark.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid montane and cloud forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for it actively foraging in the mid-story and subcanopy, often associating with mixed-species flocks. The striped breast is a key field mark. Listen for its characteristic vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible in the early morning and late afternoon.

This species is an excellent example of a 'gleaner,' meticulously picking insects from foliage and bark crevices, often hanging upside down to reach difficult spots.
