White-lored spinetail

The white-lored spinetail (Synallaxis albilora) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

It usually forages singly or in pairs, in vines and tangles in the understorey, mostly up to about 2 m (7 ft) above the ground.

[3][7] The white-lored spinetail's core breeding season is from August to December but it can start as early as June and extend to February.

Its nest is a mass of sticks with an entrance tunnel leading to an interior chamber that is lined with leaves and other soft material.

Both sexes construct the nest, typically placing it in a bush or small tree up to about 7 m (23 ft) above the ground.

The white-lored spinetail's song is repeated "sharp 'keeew kiw-kweet' notes".

[7] It also makes a "single, nasal, and level-pitched note that is typically repeated several times".

It has a fairly large range and an unknown population size that is believed to be stable.
