Adults of the nominate subspecies have an indistinct dirty white supercilium on an otherwise blackish and whitish streaked face. Their crown is black and heavily striped with rufous. Their back is streaked with dusky brown and tawny buff that diminish to the mostly plain olive brown rump. Their wing coverts are blackish with wide cinnamon rufous edges. Their flight feathers are dusky brown with cinnamon rufous bases that show as a patch on the closed wing. Their tail's central pair of feathers are dusky brown with much pale gray-brown...

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Tit-Spinetail sighting in Arequipa on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 57th most-seen of the 61 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Tit-Spinetail in Arequipa on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Arequipa's driest months, with almost no rain against 45 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streaked Tit-Spinetail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Arequipa, in our data
Arequipa is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Streaked Tit-Spinetail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streaked Tit-Spinetail is recorded against all the birds logged in Arequipa (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
