Spotted
The Northern Rufous-winged Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike characterized by its rufous wing patches and often grayish body. It inhabits the understory of humid Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth and mid-story of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, across northern Amazonia (e.g., Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Guianas).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the dense understory and low vegetation. Often found in pairs, moving deliberately through the thickets.
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 was formerly considered part of the 'Spot-winged Antshrike' complex, but has been recognized as distinct based on genetic and vocal differences.
