White-lored Spinetail

Synallaxis albilora

The White-lored Spinetail is a small bird found in South America, particularly in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is known for its distinctive white lore and rufous-brown plumage. This species is often found in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets in humid montane forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The White-lored Spinetail is an elusive bird, often heard before it is seen due to its skulking behavior. Despite its relatively wide distribution, little is known about its population trends and specific habitat requirements. As a result, its conservation status is currently listed as 'Unknown' by the IUCN.

Habitat: Humid montane forests, dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets
