Cherrie's spinetail

Synallaxis cherriei

Cherrie's spinetail (Synallaxis cherriei) is a small, secretive bird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is characterized by its long tail and subtle brown and gray plumage, making it well-camouflaged in its dense forest habitat. This species is often observed foraging for insects and small invertebrates in the understory of montane forests. Cherrie's spinetail is known for its distinctive vocalizations, consisting of a series of high-pitched, trilling notes. Despite its relatively restricted range, the population trend of Cherrie's spinetail is currently unknown, and more research is needed to assess its conservation status.

Habitat: Montane forests
