Spotted
The Cinereous Antshrike is a small, slender antshrike, characterized by its delicate build and overall grey (cinereous) plumage. It is a resident of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth and mid-story of humid lowland evergreen forests, particularly near water bodies or in seasonally flooded areas, across parts of Amazonia and the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'whip-whip-whip' call. Scan the dense understory and low vegetation. Patience is key, as they can be very still and blend in well.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.

This species often perches upright and motionless for long periods, making it surprisingly difficult to spot despite its frequent calls.
