The Bicolored Antvireo is a near-threatened small antbird restricted to foothill and lower montane forests of northwestern Ecuador and the southwest slope of Colombia. Males are grey and white and females are brown with buffy streaking. It forages in pairs in the forest midstory for insects gleaned from leaves and branches.
Ash-throated Antwren
The Ash-throated Antwren is a Vulnerable small antbird restricted to humid forests on the east slope of the Peruvian Andes. Weighing about 11.5g with a wingspan of 10.8cm, it inhabits the forest canopy and sub-canopy. Its restricted range and habitat specialization make it sensitive to deforestation.
