The spotted owlet is a small and stocky bird, barely 21 centimetres in size. The upperparts are grey-brown, heavily spotted with white. The under parts are white, streaked with brown. The facial disc is pale and the iris is yellow. There is a white neckband and super cilium. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.
This species is nocturnal but is sometimes seen in the day. It hunts a variety of insects and small rodents. The call is a harsh and loud churring and chuckling and they call mainly during early dawn or just after sunset.
The breeding season is November to April. The typical clutch is made up of three or four spherical white eggs. Incubation begins with the first laid eggs leading to a wide variation in the size of the chicks.
Picture was taken on March 26, 2019, at about 9 AM, using a Canon DSLR EOS 550D, focal length 300 mm, f/8, 1/500s shutter speed, just as the bird was emerging from the hole in the tree trunk.
