In the misty pine–oak forests of Central America, this warm-toned wanderer moves low through dense undergrowth with gentle focus. It feeds on small insects hidden among leaves and moss, flicking its tail as it slips through shadowed thickets. What makes it extraordinary is its dependence on intact mountain forests — thriving only where cool, humid conditions remain, it reflects the quiet health of these highland ecosystems. Subtle in color yet rich in presence, a soft heartbeat of the forest floor.
