The Plain-winged Antwren is a small, subtle antwren found in the understory of humid lowland forests. It is often challenging to identify due to its cryptic plumage and similar appearance to closely related species.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests of western Panama, western Colombia, and western Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for it gleaning insects in dense undergrowth, often as part of mixed-species flocks. Its small size and quick movements require patience and good binoculars.
When to spot
Active throughout the year. Best sought during early mornings when bird activity is highest.
