The Ferruginous-backed Antbird is a large, distinctive antbird with a prominent rich rufous or 'ferruginous' back and head. Males have a black breast band, while females have a patterned throat.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests across the Amazon basin and parts of the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinctive song, often given from hidden perches. Search in dense undergrowth away from army ant swarms, as it is not a typical attendant.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
