Thamnophilidae — Antbirds
Manu Antbird, Cercomacra manu, is a passerine of the antbird family that breeds in south-west and southern Amazonia in South America, including Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It was described by Fitzpatrick & Willard in 1990. The species is closely tied to Guadua bamboo, where it lives in partly shaded forest edges, especially beside watercourses and roads. Its range is split into a main western block and smaller outlying populations farther east in Amazonian Brazil. It is a year-round resident and is found from 250 to 1,350 m above sea level.
