Another easily recognized furnariid, with its puffy white cheeks, often seen probing bromeliads for insects. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

The Streaked tuftedcheek

The streaked tuftedcheek is a passerine bird in the ovenbird family, which breeds in the tropical New World in the coastal mountains of Venezuela, and the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia. It is sometimes considered conspecific with the buffy tuftedcheek, "P. lawrencii" of Central America, Colombia and Ecuador.
