Stripe-backed Antbird
Myrmorchilus strigilatus (Wied-Neuwied, M, 1831)
Thamnophilidae — Antbirds
Stripe-backed Antbird, Myrmorchilus strigilatus, is a passerine of the antbird family in South America, breeding in south-central South America and eastern Brazil. It is the only species in its genus. The species is split into two subspecies, with one in north-eastern Brazil and the other across western Brazil, south-eastern Bolivia, western Paraguay and northern Argentina. It lives in caatinga woodland and scrub, and in the Gran Chaco, where it favours places with dense ground cover. It is usually found on the ground, though it also feeds above it.
