Pinto's Spinetail

Synallaxis infuscata

Endangered

The Pinto's Spinetail is a spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Brazil. A small, often rufous-toned bird, it skulks through dense undergrowth and tangles gleaning insects, its tail frequently held cocked. Classified as Endangered, it is threatened mainly by the loss and fragmentation of its habitat. Fun fact: Ovenbirds and woodcreepers form one of the most diverse bird families on Earth, with a remarkable variety of nests.
