The Streaked Tuftedcheek is a high-elevation species than resides in the Andes
from Venezuela to Bolivia. They are members of the Furnarid family, a neotropical
grouping that includes leaftossers, woodcreepers, horneros, foliage-gleaners,
treerunners, spinetails, and others. There are very few good photos of this species,
so I was hella stoked to get a clear view to this forest skulker.
I removed some distracting elements on the left/top side of the frame. As it was more
than 'minor' cloning, I feel obligated to show the original frame as well.
I would have loved to have more DOF, but that's not how it works in heavy cloud and
rain - especially when handholding!
