Spotted
The Tooth-billed Spinetail is a small, active bird of the humid Amazonian forests. It is characterized by a slightly upturned bill and is a member of the Furnariidae family (ovenbirds and allies), not a wren.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland rainforests, often in the canopy and subcanopy, primarily in the Amazon basin of Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy. Look for a small, active bird, often moving rapidly and clinging to branches. Listen for its high-pitched, metallic calls.
When to spot
Observed year-round within its resident range. Most active during the day, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks.

Its common name refers to the tiny serrations or 'teeth' along the edges of its bill, an adaptation for grasping its insect prey.
