Feeding Habits
Rusty-backed Spinetail's diet consists primarily of arthropods, including moth larvae and beetles. They forage alone or in pairs, sometimes joining mixed-species groups, by skillfully moving along branches 1-7 meters high to glean prey from bark and leaves.
Habitat
The rusty-backed Spinetail typically inhabits wooded areas near water bodies, such as gallery forests, river-island scrub, and riparian thickets. It favors environments with dense, vine-covered vegetation often found in várzea forests and shrubby areas alongside lakes and streams. These habitats are characterized by their proximity to water and the availability of thick foliage for nesting and foraging.
