Plumbeous Antvireo

Fraseria plumbea

The Plumbeous Antvireo is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive gray plumage and its habit of foraging in the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy. This species is often found in mixed-species foraging flocks, where it actively hunts for insects and small invertebrates. The Plumbeous Antvireo is known for its melodious, high-pitched song, which it uses to communicate with its mate and defend its territory. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to its long-term survival.
