Spotted
The Black-bellied Gnateater is a unique, plump bird with a short tail and long legs, named for its prominent black belly. Males have a black head with a white post-ocular tuft.
Where to spot
Endemic to the understory of humid lowland forests in the central Amazon basin of Brazil, particularly south of the Amazon River.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched and repetitive calls. Search in dense undergrowth, often near water. They can be very difficult to spot due to their skulking nature.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
