Spotted
The Rufous-throated Antbird is a medium-sized antbird known for the distinctive rufous coloration on the throat and breast of both sexes, though more prominent in females. Males are generally grey with the rufous patch.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests, preferring dense thickets and vine tangles across the Amazon basin, primarily south of the Amazon River.
How to spot
Listen for its strong, whistled song. They can be skulking but may perch openly when singing. Look in dense undergrowth away from ant swarms.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late afternoon.

This species is not a typical army-ant follower; instead, it forages independently in the forest understory, often among vine tangles.
