Bicolored Antvireo
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.
Black-chinned Antbird
The Black-chinned Antbird is a small antbird of Amazonian forests in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, typically found in flooded forests and forest edges near rivers and streams. Males are dark grey with a black chin and throat, while females have a white throat with black spots. It feeds on insects, often following army ant swarms, and frequently cocks its tail while foraging.
