Red-faced Spinetail

Cranioleuca erythrops

Least Concern

The Red-faced Spinetail is a spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Colombia. A small, often rufous-toned bird, it skulks through dense undergrowth and tangles gleaning insects, its tail frequently held cocked. Fun fact: Ovenbirds and woodcreepers form one of the most diverse bird families on Earth, with a remarkable variety of nests.
