Spotted
The Spot-backed Antbird is a distinctive and elusive bird, characterized by white spots on its back and wings. It is a resident of the understory of humid tropical forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth, ravines, and steep slopes in humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, across parts of South America (e.g., Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating 'whip-whip-whip' song. Scan the dense undergrowth patiently, watching for subtle movements. Patience and a quiet approach are crucial.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season.
