Spotted
The Bicolored Antbird is a medium-sized antbird, named for its stark contrast between a dark upper body and a bright rufous underbelly. It also has a bare blue orbital skin.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests from Honduras to northern Colombia and western Ecuador.
How to spot
Locate army ant swarms. They can be quite bold and may even approach observers if they remain still. The strong bicolor pattern and blue orbital skin are good identification marks.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning and late afternoon when army ants are active.
