The collared spinetail ovenbird is a small bird 15 cm long. It lives in dry forests and shrubs of South America, builds nests from branches, and feeds on insects.
The collared spinetail ovenbird differs from related species by its distinct black-and-white collar on the neck. It helps maintain ecological balance by eating insects in dry areas.
