Stripe-crowned Spinetail

Cranioleuca pyrrhophia

Least Concern

The Stripe-crowned Spinetail is a spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia. 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.
