About These Birds
Black-faced Antbird
The Black-faced Antbird is a compact, sexually dimorphic bird; males have slate-gray plumage with a bold black face and bib, while females show rufous-brown coloring with whitish underparts. It inhabits dense tropical lowland and foothill forests from Colombia and Venezuela south through Amazonia to Bolivia and Brazil. It follows army ant swarms to capture the small invertebrates they flush, foraging in undergrowth near the forest floor.
