Spotted
The Russet-backed Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike, characterized by its warm rufous-brown back and crown. It is a widespread resident of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and subcanopy of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, across much of Central and South America (e.g., Mexico to Brazil).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the mid-story and subcanopy, especially looking for mixed-species flocks. Often seen in pairs.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls can be heard throughout the day.
