Thrush-like Antpitta

Myrmothera campanisona (Hermann, 1783)

Grallariidae — Antpittas

Thrush-like Antpitta, Myrmothera campanisona, is a passerine of the antpitta family Grallariidae, breeding in Amazonia in South America. It is a bird of humid rainforest in the lowlands and foothills, especially in dense undergrowth, with a strong link to openings made by fallen trees, regrowth, road margins and, above all, edges beside watercourses. It is a year-round resident across its range. The species has a small white spot behind the eye, and the sexes look alike. Its plumage is shared across the sexes, and the subspecies differ only slightly from one another.
