Black Antbird
The Black Antbird is a medium-sized antbird of dense lowland forest undergrowth in the western and central Amazon basin, from Colombia to Bolivia and Brazil. Males are entirely glossy black, while females are dark brown with pale spotting. It forages in pairs or alone in dense thickets near the forest floor for insects.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
