Plain-mantled Tit-Spinetail

Leptasthenura aegithaloides

Least Concern

The Plain-mantled Tit-Spinetail is a tit-spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. A small, often rufous-toned bird, it skulks through dense undergrowth and tangles gleaning insects, its tail frequently held cocked. Fun fact: Many members of this family build extraordinary nests, from mud ovens to huge stick castles and tunnels dug in earth banks.
