Bare-crowned Antbird

Ornithion inerme

The Bare-crowned Antbird is a small, insectivorous bird found in the understory of humid lowland forests in South America. It is known for its distinctive bare head and throat, which are a pale blue-gray color. The upperparts are olive-brown, and the underparts are a paler gray. This species forages on or near the ground, often following army ant swarms to feed on flushed insects. It also feeds on small invertebrates and occasionally fruits. The Bare-crowned Antbird is known for its distinctive vocalizations, including a series of clear, whistled notes. It is typically found in pairs or small family groups within its preferred forest habitat.
