White-eyed Foliage-gleaner

Automolus melanopezus

The White-eyed Foliage-gleaner (Automolus melanopezus) is a small to medium-sized bird found in the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests of South America. This bird is known for its distinctive white eye-ring and olive-brown upperparts. It forages for insects and small invertebrates in the dense undergrowth of the forest, using its long, decurved bill to probe into leaf litter and crevices. The species is typically observed in pairs or small groups, and its presence can be detected by its distinctive vocalizations. The White-eyed Foliage-gleaner is not currently considered threatened, and its population appears to be stable.

Habitat: Subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests
