The White-shouldered Antshrike is a medium-sized antshrike, named for the conspicuous white patch on the shoulders of the male. It inhabits humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth and mid-story of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, across parts of Amazonia and the Guianas (e.g., Brazil, Venezuela, Peru).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the mid-story and understory. Males are identifiable by their white shoulder patch.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.

This species often forages in the mid-story, systematically gleaning insects from leaves and branches, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks.
