About These Birds

Band-tailed Antwren

The Band-tailed Antwren is a Vulnerable small antbird of the family Thamnophilidae restricted to the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil. Weighing about 8.4g with a wingspan of 10.1cm, it has a distinctive white-spotted tail. Its dependence on intact Atlantic Forest habitat makes it vulnerable to ongoing deforestation.

Allpahuayo Antbird
