About These Birds

Blackish Antbird

The Blackish Antbird is a medium-sized antbird with dark blackish-gray plumage in the male, white wing spots, and whitish underparts; females are browner with buff-white streaking. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid lowland forests along river margins and forest edges in Amazonia, from Brazil and Bolivia to Colombia and Ecuador. It forages through tangled vegetation for insects, often following army ant swarms.
