The White-flanked Antwren is a widespread and common antwren, recognizable by the white flanks of the male. It typically forages in the mid-story of humid lowland and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Widely distributed in humid lowland and foothill forests from Honduras south through Central America and across much of the Amazon Basin to southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story to lower canopy. If you find an army ant swarm, patience can pay off. Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating trill calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings, especially when associated with army ant swarms.
