Spotted
The Blackish Antbird is a medium-sized antbird, characterized by its uniformly dark, dusky-grey plumage. It inhabits the dense understory of humid montane and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Eastern slopes of the Andes, from northern Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru, into Bolivia.
How to spot
Look in the dense understory of humid montane cloud forests. It can be elusive, so listening for its loud, distinctive calls is often the most effective way to locate it.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity.
Despite its plain appearance, this species is known for its powerful and distinctive vocalizations, often a series of ringing whistles, which are key to its detection in the dense forest where it's hard to see.
