Spotted
The Ambiguous Antshrike is a recently recognized species, distinguished by subtle vocal and genetic differences from its former conspecifics. It inhabits humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland rainforests, often near rivers or in seasonally flooded areas, across parts of western Amazonia (e.g., Peru, Brazil).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the dense understory patiently, watching for subtle movements. A local expert's ear for calls is very helpful.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are crucial for its identification and detection.

Its 'ambiguous' name reflects the historical confusion and difficulty in distinguishing it from other similar antshrike species without detailed study.
