During our visit to the Pantanal we encountered several species of spinetails with the most frequently seen being the Yellow-chinned Spinetail. This Yellow-chinned Spinetail was the first one I saw during the trip and was a bit of a photo bomb. I was trying to follow another bird as it moved through the brush and was really struggling. Then all of a sudden this brown blob appeared in my viewfinder and when it came into focus this is what I saw, what a surprise!

Certhiaxis cinnamomeus
