Spotted
The Riparian Antbird is a medium-sized antbird found in the dense undergrowth along rivers and streams in the Amazon Basin. It is characterized by its dusky plumage and preference for water-edge habitats.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests along rivers and on river islands in the Amazon Basin, including parts of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Search in dense vegetation along riverbanks, oxbow lakes, and on river islands. Listening for its distinctive calls, often a rapid series of notes, is key to its detection in these noisy environments.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings when active.

Its specific habitat preference for riverine forests and islands makes it a specialist within the Amazonian ecosystem, often found in association with white-water rivers, adapting to fluctuating water levels.
