The Rufous Hornero or Red Ovenbird (Furnarius rufus) is a medium-sized bird in the family Furnariidae.
It occurs in eastern South America.
Songs in the Rufous Hornero are sexually distinct. The rapid trill that is usually heard as part of the duet is faster in the male, slower in the female, and both beat their wings at their sides while singing and the wings beat at the same rate as their trill. Thus, while watching an observer may identify the sex by how fast their wings beat while singing.
The nest of the species is typical for the genus, a large thick clay "oven" placed on a tree, or man made structures such as fenceposts, telephone poles or buildings. It is a common sight in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

The species is known in Brazil as "joão-de-barro".
