Chotoy Spinetail

Cantorchilus guarayanus

The Chotoy Spinetail is a small, slender bird found in South America, particularly in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. It has a distinctive long, slightly curved bill and a rufous-brown plumage with streaks on the underparts. This species is often found in dense undergrowth and scrubby areas, where it forages for insects and spiders. The Chotoy Spinetail is known for its high-pitched, rapid trilling song, which is often heard during the breeding season. While not currently considered globally threatened, the species may face habitat loss and degradation in some parts of its range.
