Spotted
The Mottled Antbird is a striking and robust antbird, named for its heavily mottled or speckled plumage. It is a resident of humid lowland rainforests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and subcanopy of humid lowland rainforests, particularly in areas with dense vine tangles or epiphyte growth, across northern Amazonia (e.g., Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, loud, ringing 'wheet-wheet-wheet' calls. Scan the mid-levels of the forest, looking for movements in mixed-species flocks. It can be quite conspicuous when calling.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.

This species often joins mixed-species foraging flocks, particularly those led by antwrens, to collectively find insects flushed from the vegetation.
