A small, ground-dwelling wren with a distinctive white breast and a patterned face. It is a denizen of humid tropical and subtropical forests, often heard but rarely seen.
Where to spot
Humid tropical and subtropical forests from southern Mexico through Central America to northern South America, including parts of Colombia and Venezuela.
How to spot
Primarily identify by its strong, ringing song. Look for it foraging on or very near the forest floor in dense thickets, often hopping rather than flying.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and easiest to locate during the breeding season and in the early morning hours.
