Taxonomy and systematics
The chestnut-throated spinetail is closely related to the stripe-breasted spinetail (S. cinnamomea) and ruddy spinetail (S. rutilans).[4]
Beyond that, the chestnut-throated spinetail's taxonomy is unsettled. The
This article follows the three-subspecies model.
Description
The chestnut-throated spinetail is about 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in) long and weighs about 14 to 17 g (0.49 to 0.60 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a deep rufous-chestnut forecrown, face, and throat. Their hindcrown, nape, and back are chestnut strongly washed with olive-brown, and their rump and uppertail

Behavior
Movement
The chestnut-throated spinetail is a year-round resident throughout its range.[1]
Feeding
The chestnut-throated spinetail feeds on arthropods. It typically forages in pairs, usually keeping in dense vegetation, and usually within about 3 m (10 ft) of the ground. It does sometimes forage on the ground and as high as 8 m (26 ft) above it.[7][8][9][10]
Breeding
Juvenile chestnut-throated spinetails accompanied by adults have been observed in May and June. Nothing else is known about the species' breeding biology.[7]
Vocalization
The chestnut-throated spinetail's song is a " 'prruh-pih' (2nd note higher) in long series with short interruptions".[8] Its calls while foraging include "a high-pitched psiu and piwwwh".[7]
