Spotted
The Chestnut-backed Antbird is a striking antbird species, easily recognized by its rich chestnut back and rump. Males have a black head and grey underparts, while females are browner.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests in Central America (Honduras to Panama) and western Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Locate army ant swarms and patiently watch for movement on the forest floor. They are quite vocal, and their calls are often given persistently.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon, especially near active army ant swarms.
This species is a classic army-ant follower, often one of the dominant antbirds at large ant swarms.
