Slaty Antwren, Myrmotherula schisticolor, is a passerine of the antbird family found in Middle America and South America, from south-eastern Mexico through Central America to northern Venezuela and Peru. It is a small bird with a short tail, and the adult plumage differs between the sexes and among the three recognised subspecies. The nominate form is mainly dark grey in the male, while the female is greyer and olive-toned above with browner wings and cinnamon underparts. It lives in moist forest, especially cloudforest and nearby secondary woodland, and is usually a resident all year.
