The Plain-throated Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike with relatively unmarked throat plumage. It is a resident of dry and semi-deciduous forests in central Brazil.
Where to spot
Dry and semi-deciduous forests, gallery forests, and scrublands, primarily in central and eastern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'tew-tew-tew-tew' call. Scan the mid-story and understory, particularly in areas with dense shrubbery. Often found in pairs.
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 is often found in the more open, scrubby habitats of the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, contrasting with many other antshrikes that prefer dense rainforests.
