Spotted
The Spot-winged Antshrike is a widespread species, characterized by white spots on its wing-coverts. It is a common and vocal inhabitant of the understory of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth, secondary growth, and forest edges in humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, across eastern and northern Amazonia, and parts of the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, 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 and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
