Scaly-throated Foliage-gleaner (Anabacerthia variegaticeps) - 15Aug2024

Between the common name and the Latin name, this bird has one of the longest names I have seen!  It is only fitting then that it is one of the birds I have seen for the least time possible, just enough to snap this pic.  Like most foliage-gleaners they are very skulky and difficult to see.  There is some debate on whether the sister species of Montane Foliage-gleaner is conspecific or not but the eBird taxonomy has them as separate species.  We saw ours at Ukuku Lodge in Colombia.
