Band-tailed Antbird

Spiziapteryx circumcincta

The Band-tailed Antbird is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with a bright red eye. These birds are often found foraging on the forest floor, using their long legs and curved beaks to search for insects and small invertebrates. They are known for their loud, repetitive calls that echo through the dense undergrowth. Band-tailed Antbirds are typically found in the understory of lowland and foothill forests, where they prefer dense vegetation and leaf litter for foraging.
