The silvery-throated spinetail (Synallaxis subpudica) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Colombia. The silvery-throated spinetail is monotypic. The silvery-throated spinetail is 17 to 19 cm (6.7 to 7.5 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a thin light cinnamon supercilium on an otherwise grayish brown face. Their forecrown is grayish brown, their hindcrown and nape rufous-chestnut, and their back, rump, and uppertail coverts brown. Their wing coverts and base of their flight feathers are chestnut and the rest of the flight feathers are brown. Their tail is a slightly darker brown than the back; it is very long and the feathers lack barbs at their tips, giving a spiny appearance. Their throat is gray with faint darker mottling and a blackish center. Their underparts are dull grayish brown with an olive tinge; it is lighter on the belly. Their iris is dark reddish brown, their maxilla blackish gray, their mandible gray, and their legs and feet gray. Juveniles have a gray crown.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silvery-throated Spinetail is recorded against all the birds logged in Bogota (1,128 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.
