Stotz's antwren

Herpsilochmus stotzi

Stotz's antwren (Herpsilochmus stotzi) is a small passerine bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its distinctive vocalizations and secretive behavior, often foraging in the understory of dense vegetation. The species is sexually dimorphic, with the male having a black crown and back, while the female has a rufous crown and olive-green back. Stotz's antwren primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates, and it often joins mixed-species foraging flocks. Due to its elusive nature and restricted range, further research is needed to understand its ecology and conservation status.
