Klages's antwren

Myrmotherula klagesi

Klages's antwren (Myrmotherula klagesi) is a small passerine bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with males having a black crown and throat, and females having a grayish crown and white throat. These birds forage for insects and small invertebrates in the dense undergrowth of the forest, often in mixed-species flocks. They are known for their high-pitched calls and are often heard before they are seen. Klages's antwrens are typically found in the lower levels of the forest, where they flit and hop among the foliage in search of food.
