Where to spot
Dry and semi-humid scrub, secondary growth, and forest edges in northern South America, particularly Venezuela and Colombia.
How to spot
Look for its rufous back and pale underparts. Listen for its distinctive, repetitive, chattering calls, which often give away its presence in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season. Active in early mornings and late afternoons.
