Spotted
The Spot-tailed Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike known for the subtle white spotting on its tail feathers. It inhabits the understory of humid forests in western Amazonia.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, often in vine tangles or bamboo, across parts of western Amazonia (e.g., Peru, Bolivia, Brazil).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'whip-whip-whip' call. Scan the dense understory patiently, watching for subtle movements. Due to its shyness, a quiet approach is crucial.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.

Like other antshrikes, this species primarily forages for insects and other small invertebrates, carefully gleaning them from foliage and bark.
