The Streak-backed Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike, characterized by subtle streaking on its back, especially in males. It is a resident of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid montane and cloud forests, typically at higher elevations in the Andes (e.g., Colombia, Ecuador, Peru).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'whip-whip-whip' call. Scan the dense foliage and mossy branches patiently. Often found in pairs, moving quietly through the vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.

This species is often found in the cloud forest understory, where its muted plumage provides excellent camouflage amongst the moss and epiphyte-laden vegetation.
