Spotted
The Olive-backed Ant-Tanager is a somewhat drab but robust ant-tanager found in the understory of Central American forests. It has an olive-brown back and paler underparts, with a hint of reddish in males.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests from southeastern Honduras south through Nicaragua and Costa Rica to central Panama.
How to spot
Look in the dense understory of humid forests, often near forest edges or clearings. They can be secretive but may be located by their harsh, chattering calls. Patience is key for observation.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round in its range. Active throughout the day, especially mornings.
