The Serra Antwren (Formicivora serrana) is a small passerine bird found in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. It has a distinctive black and white plumage with a black crown and white underparts. This species is known for its insectivorous diet, foraging in the understory and lower levels of the forest. It is often observed in pairs or small groups, and its high-pitched calls can be heard throughout the forest. The Serra Antwren is highly territorial and defends its nesting area vigorously. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, this species is considered vulnerable to extinction.
