The Southern Antpipit is a terrestrial Tyrannid characterized by its olive-brown plumage and a subtle eye-ring. It prefers humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Distributed in humid lowland forests of southeastern Brazil, northeastern Argentina, and eastern Paraguay, within the Atlantic Forest biome.
How to spot
Focus on the forest floor in dense undergrowth. It can be secretive, so listening for its distinct, melancholic calls is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often more vocal in the early mornings. Observable year-round in its resident range.

Like its northern relative, this species forages by walking deliberately on the forest floor, often flicking leaves aside with its bill to expose invertebrates.
