Soluk Renkli Daldokuyan Phacellodomus inornatus

A rather plain thornbird with a long tail and a dark gray eye. Nondescript; look for the cinnamon-tinged forehead and slightly warmer brown flanks and tail. Found in open areas with scattered trees and savannas; avoids the forest interior. Tends to be very vocal, often singing a squeaky, chattering duet. Look for its enormous stick nests usually located in isolated trees where they hang suspended at the end of branches. Occurs in northern Venezuela and Colombia.
