Spotted
The Yanacensis Wiretail is a recently described species of wiretail, closely related to Des Murs's Wiretail, and distinguished by subtle plumage differences and vocalizations. It is found in high-Andean forests.
Where to spot
High-altitude montane forests and shrublands in the Andes of Peru, particularly in the Yanac region. It prefers dense undergrowth in cloud forest remnants.
How to spot
Similar to its close relative, identifying this wiretail relies heavily on its unique vocalizations. Be patient and scan dense, tangled vegetation, as it is very secretive and rarely exposes itself.
When to spot
Year-round, with peak activity in early mornings. Its restricted range and specific habitat make it a challenging species to encounter.
