Spotted
The Rusty-winged Barbtail is a small, active ovenbird characterized by its rufous wings and subtle barring on its underparts. It is a secretive resident of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Andes, from Venezuela to Peru. Typically found at middle to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, often unpatterned calls. Be patient and scan dense vegetation; it moves deliberately but often stays hidden. Its rufous wing patches are a subtle but key field mark.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during early morning and late afternoon. Its quiet nature makes it challenging to spot outside of vocal periods.

This species often forages in the densest parts of the understory, using its sharp bill to probe into mosses and epiphytes for small insects and larvae.
