Spotted
The Large-billed Antwren is a distinctive species named for its proportionally larger bill compared to other antwrens. It inhabits the mid-story of dry, open woodlands.
Where to spot
Dry forests and woodlands (Cerrado and Caatinga) of central and northeastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and parts of Paraguay.
How to spot
Search in the mid-story of dry woodlands and cerrado habitats. It often travels in mixed-species flocks. Look for its distinctive bill size and listen for its calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the active foraging periods of the morning.

Its larger bill is adapted for foraging on a wider range of insects, potentially allowing it to exploit different prey items or foraging niches compared to its smaller-billed relatives.
