The Bay-capped Wren-spinetail is a small, brown ovenbird found in the marshes and wet grasslands of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina. It has a distinctive rufous cap and inhabits tall reedbeds and grassy wetland margins. It forages low in dense marsh vegetation for insects and other small invertebrates.
Blackish-headed Spinetail
The Blackish-headed Spinetail is a vulnerable, secretive spinetail with dark gray-black head plumage, rufous-brown upperparts, and a long, loose-textured rufous tail. It inhabits dense humid forest undergrowth and thickets in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, often in arid to semi-humid areas. It forages furtively close to the ground, creeping through dense tangles for insects and small invertebrates.
