White-striped Antbird

Microcerculus marginatus

The White-striped Antbird is a small, insectivorous bird found in the understory of tropical forests in Central and South America. It has a distinctive white stripe above the eye and a black-and-white streaked pattern on its plumage. This species is known for its habit of following army ant swarms to feed on the insects they flush out. It also forages for small invertebrates and occasionally fruits. The White-striped Antbird is known for its complex vocalizations, including duets between mated pairs. Despite its relatively wide distribution, specific population trends and threats are not well-documented, leading to an IUCN conservation status of 'Unknown'.
