Plain Antvireo

Thamnophilus schistaceus

The Plain Antvireo (Thamnophilus schistaceus) is a small bird found in the Amazon Basin of South America. It is characterized by its plain olive-brown plumage, with a distinctive white eye-ring and a black bill. This species is often found in the understory of lowland tropical forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Plain Antvireo is known for its distinctive vocalizations, often heard in the early morning and late afternoon. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential threats to its long-term survival.
