Black-and-white Antbird

Thamnophilus nigrocinereus

The Black-and-white Antbird is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its striking black and white plumage, with a black head, back, and wings, and white underparts. This species is known for its distinctive foraging behavior, often following army ant swarms to feed on flushed insects. It also emits a loud, piercing call that can be heard echoing through the forest understory. The Black-and-white Antbird prefers dense, humid lowland forests and is often found in the vicinity of streams or wet areas. It is known for its skulking behavior, making it challenging to observe in the wild.
