The Spot-backed Antwren is a small, active antwren distinguished by its spotted back (more prominent in males). It typically inhabits the mid-story of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Southwestern Amazon Basin in Brazil, particularly along the Madeira and Tapajós rivers, and adjacent parts of Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and lower canopy of humid primary and mature secondary forests. It often joins mixed-species flocks. Listen for its distinctive, accelerating trill song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the early morning when foraging activity is high.

The subtle spotting on its back, though difficult to see in the dense forest, is a key diagnostic feature that differentiates it from other similar antwrens in its range.
