The Streaked Xenops is a widespread and common Furnariid characterized by its streaked plumage and wedge-shaped bill. It's an active gleaner, often seen scrambling along branches and vines.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from southern Mexico south to northern Argentina, in humid forests, woodlands, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for it actively foraging on smaller branches and dead wood, often moving erratically. Its streaked head and underside are key identifiers. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when foraging is most intense.

The Streaked Xenops's bill is uniquely shaped to allow it to chip away at rotting wood and pry open bark flakes, revealing hidden insects.
