Magdalena Antbird, Sipia palliata, is a passerine of the antbird family in central and northern Colombia and north-west Venezuela. It was first described by Todd in 1917 and is now placed in Sipia. The species lives in wet foothill evergreen forest, mainly on the forest floor and in the understorey, and also uses lowland forest near the coast in Colombia. It is found in dense growth on slopes and ravines, as well as in regenerating vegetation after landslides and tree falls. Its range is patchy and extends to 1,100 m in Colombia and 400 to 1,100 m in Venezuela.
