Short-tailed Antthrush

Chamaeza campanisona (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823)

Short-tailed Antthrush, Chamaeza campanisona, is a passerine of the antthrush family that breeds in South America from Venezuela to Bolivia, including tepui areas and south-eastern parts of the continent. It was described by Lichtenstein in 1823. The bird is tied to humid foothill and montane forest and woodland across its scattered range, and in eastern Brazil it also uses lowland evergreen forest. It is a year-round resident. Its distribution is highly broken up, with separate populations in places such as the Venezuelan tepuis, the Andes, Bolivia and eastern Brazil.
