How to spot
Look in the dense understory of humid foothill forests, often associating with mixed-species flocks. Listen for its distinct vocalizations to help locate it, as visual identification can be challenging.

This species was once considered a subspecies of the Slaty-backed Antwren (Epinecrophylla gutturalis), but distinct vocalizations and genetic differences led to its recognition as a separate species, showcasing the value of bioacoustics in taxonomy.
