The Plain Antvireo is a small, rather drab antvireo, uniformly grey or olive-brown, making its vocalizations key for identification. It is a resident of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and understory of humid montane and cloud forests, typically at higher elevations in the Andes (e.g., Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip' or 'tew-tew-tew' calls. Scan the dense foliage patiently, watching for subtle movements. Often found in mixed-species flocks.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
