Description
The spotted bamboowren (Psilorhamphus guttatus) is a small species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is monotypic within the genus Psilorhamphus. It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, mainly at bamboo thickets, in southeastern Brazil and far northeastern Argentina. It is threatened by habitat loss. Despite its English name, this long-tailed brown and grey bird is not a wren, but an unusual tapaculo.

Feeding Habits
Spotted Bamboowren predominantly consumes insects and larvae. They typically forage alone or in pairs, maintaining an average height of 2 meters but can ascend to 7 meters amidst dense vines. Their hunting behavior includes vigorous hopping across branches with a distinctive posture, marked by a lowered forebody and raised tail. Occasionally, spotted Bamboowren may feed on the ground.
Habitat
The habitat of spotted Bamboowren primarily comprises vast expanses of bamboo at the boundaries of dense secondary forests. In some areas, spotted Bamboowren is also found inhabiting dense thickets of vines and various types of tangled vegetation. These environments are typical in broader tropical regions where bamboo and secondary forests are prevalent.
