Rufous-tailed Antthrush

Cnemarchus erythropygius

The Rufous-tailed Antthrush is a small to medium-sized bird found in the forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive rufous tail and cryptic plumage, which helps it blend into the forest floor. This species is primarily insectivorous, foraging on the ground for insects and small invertebrates. It has a unique, flute-like song that is often heard in the early morning or late evening. The Rufous-tailed Antthrush plays an important role in the ecosystem as a seed disperser and contributes to the overall health of the forest.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests
