Foothill antwren (Epinecrophylla spodionota)

While its lowland counterpart (Rufous-tailed) was quite a common sight just a few km away, this species appears to be rather rare, and bloody hard to pin down, considering how few photos of it exist despite is fairly large range. This is the best I could do, on one of the only two occasions I encountered it in an entire year!
