- Thryothorus rutilus
Identification
14cm. Grey-brown upperparts, black bars on the tail, throat and face sides are speckled black and white. The breast is rufous, the belly is brownish white and the flanks brown. Faint line over the eye and a short thin bill.
Distribution
Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago.
Taxonomy
Habitat
Forest undergrowth and thickets.
Behaviour
It builds a large sphere shaped nest of leaves and grass with a side entrance, concealed in tangled vegetation. The female incubates the clutch of 2-4 brown-blotched white eggs, and the naked young take 16 days to fledge.
They forage in vegetation for insects and centipedes.
