Spotted
The Plain-capped Spinetail is a small, relatively drab Furnariid that lacks prominent markings on its crown. It typically inhabits humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes in Venezuela and Colombia.
How to spot
Look for it foraging actively in the understory and mid-story. Pay attention to its overall brownish plumage and the lack of a distinct crown pattern, combined with its vocalizations.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often in mixed-species flocks. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

Its 'plain-capped' name signifies the absence of striking patterns on its head, which can make it challenging to identify among similar spinetails, relying on other subtle cues.
