Harlequin Antbird

Rhegmatorhina berlepschi (Snethlage, E, 1907)

Thamnophilidae — Antbirds

Harlequin Antbird, Rhegmatorhina berlepschi, is a passerine of the antbird family found in south-central Amazonia in Brazil. It lives in the understorey of humid evergreen terra firme forest, within a very restricted range in Amazonian Brazil. The species is a year-round resident and is closely tied to army ant swarms, where it takes arthropods that are driven out by the ants. Both sexes show a small crest and a pale grey-green ring of bare skin around the eye, while males and females differ in plumage details.
