The Short-tailed Antthrush is a small, secretive bird found in the understory of humid montane forests in South America. It is known for its distinctive song, a series of clear, whistled notes. This species forages on the forest floor, using its long legs to hop and run in search of insects and small invertebrates. The Short-tailed Antthrush is typically solitary and difficult to observe due to its elusive nature. It is considered to be a species of least concern, with stable populations throughout its range.
