The Orinoco Antbird is a medium-sized antbird with a distinctive dark grey plumage, subtly marked with paler wing bars. It is found in specific forest types.
Where to spot
Endemic to the understory of humid lowland forests on white-sand soils in the northern Amazon basin, specifically southern Venezuela and adjacent northern Brazil.
How to spot
Requires visiting its specific, restricted habitat. Listen for its distinctive song, which is often the most reliable way to detect its presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the dry season when forest access is easier.
This species is a localized specialist, restricted to the unique dry, sandy-soil forests (known as 'campinas' or 'sabanas') of the northern Amazon basin.
