Bertoni's Antbird is a small antbird of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina. It has a distinctive rufous throat and chest in males, with streaked brown and black upperparts. It forages in dense forest undergrowth near bamboo stands, feeding on insects flushed from leaf litter.
Black-capped Antwren
The Black-capped Antwren is a small, active insectivore of cerrado and dry forests in central Brazil, with the male showing a bold black cap and black-streaked white underparts.
