White-winged Spadebill

Poecilotriccus calopterus

The White-winged Spadebill is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive white wing patches and short, spade-shaped tail. This species is often found in the understory of dense, humid forests, where it flits about in search of small insects and spiders. The White-winged Spadebill is known for its high-pitched, whistled song, which it uses to communicate with its mate and establish territory. While not currently considered threatened, deforestation and habitat loss pose potential risks to its population in the future.
