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-hooded Antshrike
The Black-hooded Antshrike is a medium-sized antbird; males are strikingly patterned in black with white wing spots while females are rufous-brown with dark streaking. It is endemic to the Pacific lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama, inhabiting the interior and edges of humid tropical forest and tall second growth. It forages in pairs through the understory, hunting insects and following army ant swarms.
