The Dusky-throated Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike with a subtle dusky wash on its throat. It is a resident of humid lowland forests, often associating with army ant swarms.

Where to spot

Dense undergrowth and mid-story of humid lowland evergreen forests, particularly near army ant swarms, across parts of Amazonia and the Guianas.

How to spot

Look for army ant swarms and listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'tew-tew-tew' calls. Observe patiently from a distance, focusing on movements around the ant columns.

When to spot

Resident year-round. Most active when attending army ant swarms, which can happen at any time of day. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
