Least Concern

The Spix's Spinetail is a spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. 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.
