Where to spot
Widespread across humid lowlands from southern Mexico through Central America and much of the Amazon Basin, extending into southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Search in dense undergrowth, vine tangles, and forest edges, often in secondary growth. Look for its active movements and the male's striking black-and-white pattern. Listen for its distinctive high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons.
This is one of the most widespread and commonly encountered antwrens across Central and South America, often seen actively foraging in dense undergrowth, frequently twitching its tail.
