Rufous-backed Antvireo

Hylophilus poicilotis

The Rufous-backed Antvireo is a small bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its olive-green upperparts and rufous crown and back. This species is often found in the understory of dense, humid forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Rufous-backed Antvireo is known for its distinctive vocalizations, often heard as a series of whistles and trills. While its population size is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its range. However, habitat loss due to deforestation poses a potential threat to this species.
