Spotted
The Blackish-backed Fire-eye is a distinct antbird, characterized by its glossy black plumage and bright red eyes. Females typically have a rufous-brown back, contrasting with their darker underparts.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, preferring dense humid forest understory.
How to spot
Search for them near army ant swarms or in dense tangled vegetation close to the forest floor. Their loud, ringing calls are often the first sign of their presence.
When to spot
Active year-round, with peak activity during early mornings and late afternoons.
This species is known for its intense red iris, which stands out against its dark plumage, giving it its 'fire-eye' moniker.
