The Band-tailed Antwren is a distinctive small antwren characterized by a prominent white band on its tail. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Disjunct distribution in humid lowland forests: one population in southeastern Colombia and eastern Ecuador, another in southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Search in the dense understory, vine tangles, and bamboo thickets. Its tail band is the key identifier, especially when it spreads its tail. Listen for its characteristic vocalizations, often a rapid series of notes.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the active foraging times of the morning.
