Scaled Spinetail Cranioleuca muelleri

It is endemic to the lower Amazon River in Brazil, where it inhabits várzea forests and tropical or subtropical swamplands. It is a poorly known and apparently uncommon species, and the population is likely to be relatively small. Based on a model of future deforestation in the Amazon basin, this species is expected to lose about half of its available habitat over three generations.
