Bar-winged Wood Wren, Henicorhina leucoptera, is a wren of the Andes in Peru, with its breeding range in South America. It lives on the eastern slopes in the understory of elfin forest, where it is tied to ridges with poor soils. The bird is notable for its two clear white wing bars, a broad pale eyebrow, and a broken white ring around the eye. Its back is reddish brown, the tail is dark with fine bars, and the underparts shift from off-white to cinnamon.
