The spectacled prickletail (Siptornis striaticollis) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

Adults of the nominate subspecies have dull fuscous lores, a whitish supercilium and partial eyering, rufescent ear coverts with tawny streaks, and brown malars with pale buff streaks.

Their tail is reddish chestnut; the central feathers lack barbs at the end giving a spiny appearance.

Their chin is grizzled buff, their throat and upper breast grayish olive-brown with thin pale buff streaks and pale cinnamon on the edges, and the rest of their underparts grayish olive-brown.

Subspecies S. s. nortoni has paler lores than the nominate, with less white on the face and more obvious buff-whitish streaks on the throat and breast.

[7][8][9] The spectacled prickletail is found locally in the Andes from southeastern Colombia south along the east slope in Ecuador and slightly into northern Peru.

It forages singly or in pairs, frequently in mixed-species feeding flocks, and usually in the forest's mid-storey or above.

Its nest is a ball of moss and other plant material with the entrance at the bottom, and suspended from near the end of a branch.
