Rufous-and-white Wren

Thryophilus rufalbus

The Rufous-and-white Wren (Thryophilus rufalbus) is a small, active bird found in the lowland forests and woodlands of Central and South America. This wren is known for its distinctive rufous and white plumage, with a bold white eyebrow stripe and a long, slightly curved bill. It is a vocal species, often heard before it is seen, with a varied and melodious song. Rufous-and-white Wrens forage for insects and spiders in the dense undergrowth, and they are often found in pairs or small family groups. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential concerns for this species.
