About These Birds
Black-bellied Antwren
The Black-bellied Antwren is a small insectivorous bird of the cerrado and caatinga scrublands of central and eastern Brazil, with the male showing black underparts contrasting with white-streaked black upperparts. It frequents dense low scrub, thickets, and the margins of gallery forests. Pairs forage actively in the understory, gleaning insects and spiders from leaves and stems.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
